โœฆ Synopsis

The cancer mortality in a Chinese asbestos plant using only chrysotile was studied. Opened in the 1950s, all workers with at least 1 year of employment by 1972 were followed through 1994. Most workers were female. Excess cancer mortality, compared to local city data, was found for lung cancer, including many cases among nonsmoking women, and stomach cancer. Plant asbestos levels have been high in the past but have consistently come down over the decades.

As early as 1943, the German scientiยฎc consensus was that the evidence was strong enough to deem the association to be causal. On reviewing a more extensi

## Abstract Models based on the multistage theory of carcinogenesis predict that the rate of mesothelioma increases monotonically as a function of time since first exposure (TSFE) to asbestos. Predictions of longโ€term mortality (TSFE โ‰ฅ 40 years) are, however, still untested, because of the limited
