Occupational exposure to asbestos and man-made vitreous fibres and risk of lung cancer: a multicentre case-control study in Europe
Original language description
Objectives: To investigate the contribution of occupational exposure to asbestos and man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF) to lung cancer in high-risk populations in Europe. Methods: A multi-center case-control study was conducted in six Central and Eastern European countries and the UK, during the period 1998-2002. Comprehensive occupational and socio-demographic information was collected from 2205 newly diagnosed male lung cancer cases and 2305 frequency matched controls. Odds ratios (OR) of lung cancer were calculated after adjusting for other relevant occupational exposures and tobacco smoking. Results: The OR for asbestos exposure was 0.92 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-1.15) in Central and Eastern Europe and 1.85 (95%CI 1.07-3.21) in the UK. Similar OR were found for exposure to amphibole asbestos. The OR for MMVF exposure was 1.23 (95%CI 0.88-1.71) with no evidence of heterogeneity by country. No synergistic effect either between asbestos and MMVF or between any of them and smokin
