One problem that has plagued spouses of the deceased workers that were exposed to asbestos is showing that mesothelioma was the cause of death. There is some evidence to suggest that the incidence of mesothelioma has been grossly underestimated. One interesting study is called, Validation of death certificates in asbestos workers by M. L. Newhouse, J. C. Wagner - Br J Ind Med 1969;26:302-307. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Newhouse, M. L., and...more
One question that has puzzled many researches is whether or not there is a definitive threshold regarding levels of asbestos exposure and disease development. One interesting study that explores this issue is called, Asbestos - the TLV approach - Ann N Y Acad Sci. 1976;271:152-69. by Nicholson WJ. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - A review of the control of carcinogenic exposures using the TLV approach presents a prospect of limited effectiveness....more
Asbestos exposure has been known to cause cell transformation and chromosomal mutations. One group of workers that has been extensively studied is factory employees in London. One interesting study is called, Mortality from all cancers of asbestos factory workers in east London 193380 by G Berry, M L Newhouse, J C Wagner - Occup Environ Med 2000;57:782-785. Here is an excerpt: Abstract Objective - To give the observed and expected deaths due to cancer at all separate sites in asbestos workers in east London, and to analyse these for overall effect and exposure-response trend. METHODS - The mortality experience of a cohort of over 5000 men and women followed up for over 30 years since first exposure to asbestos has been extracted. RESULTS - There was a large excess of deaths due to cancer (537 observed, 222 expected). Most of these were due to cancer of the lung (232 observed, 77 expected) and pleural (52) and peritoneal (48) mesothelioma. The exposure-response trend for all these three causes was highly significant. There was also an excess of cancer of the colon (27 observed, 15 expected) which was significantly related to exposure. There were significant excesses of cancer...more

How Sinus Cancer DevelopsIt makes sense to doubt how narrow structures in the face would develop cancer. However, not because sinuses are hollow air pockets does it mean that cancer is not possible.Sinus cancer develops from various sites in the nasal passage. Most commonly, this starts with the cells of mucosal lining of the sinuses. Cancer also develops from the bones surrounding the sinuses and the nasal cavity, although the chance of this happening is very slim. Types of Sinus CancerSquamous Cell Carcinoma is the most common type of sinus cancer. This forms from the flat cells of the linings of the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses called squamous cells, thus the name. Other types of sinus cancer are:Sarcoma This develops from either the connective tissues or muscles of the nasal cavity and the sinuses.Melanoma This forms from the cells that give the skin its color, called melanocytes.Midline granulomas This starts particularly from the tissues located in the middle section of the face.Inverting papilloma These begin from non-cancerous growths called benign tumors that typically develop inside the nose. Although in general, these do not pose any risks to the person...more
