Asbestos exposure is the most important cause of occupational lung cancer mortality. Two
large randomized clinical trials in the US and Europe conclusively demonstrate that annual …

Objectives Smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer, but environmental and
occupational exposure to carcinogens also increase lung cancer risk. We assessed whether …

Abstract Background and Objective Asbestos is a major risk factor for lung cancer, with or
without tobacco smoke exposure. Low dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for …

Background We previously showed that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening
in asbestos-exposed workers is effective in detecting lung cancer (LC) at an early stage …

Objective Lung cancer is the most frequent malignant asbestos-related pathology and
remains the most fatal cancer of industrialized countries. In heavy smokers, early detection …

Background Low-dose computed tomography (CT) has been found to detect more Stage IA
lung cancer than chest x-ray. Aims To investigate whether lung cancer screening with CT …

We conducted a computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer in a high-risk
population. Six hundred and two workers (38–81 years, 97% smokers) with asbestos-related …

This review provides an update on literature published over the past 5 years that is relevant
to using chest computed tomography (CT) as a tool for preventing occupational respiratory …

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of lung cancer in a high-risk
asbestos-exposed cohort using low-dose MDCT. Of a population of 5,389 former power …

The objective of the present study is to determine the feasibility of chest computed
tomography (CT) in screening for lung cancer among asbestos-exposed workers. In total …
