mesothelioma/サトウキビ

We conducted a case-control study of 93 mesothelioma cases and 281 cancer controls to determine whether sugarcane workers exposed to biogenic silica fibers were at increased risk of mesothelioma. We found no important excess risk of mesothelioma in sugarcane workers [odds ratio (OR) = 1.3; 95%

A case-control study was conducted of the risk of lung cancer and mesothelioma from environmental and occupational exposures associated with sugarcane production. A slight, not statistically significant, excess risk of lung cancer was observed among participants who reported working in the sugarcane

Sugarcane is, after pineapple, the largest agricultural industry in Hawaii. There have been reports that this industry poses certain health hazards. To investigate this possible hazard in Hawaii, the relationship of employment on a sugarcane plantation to total mortality, the development of definite

In a study to determine putative occupation-related factors responsible for the excessive mortality due to lung cancer in southern Louisiana, the next-of-kin were interviewed of 284 of 400 persons (71%) randomly sampled from a total of 815 persons who died of lung cancer during 1971 through 1977 and

Certain Louisiana cancer rates are higher than the national averages. This review evaluates the existing epidemiologic literature pertaining to risk factors for cancer in Louisiana. Population-based case-control studies have identified smoking as the most important contributor to lung cancer in

To determine whether histologic patterns differed in the high- and low-lung cancer mortality parishes (counties) of Louisiana and whether the findings in the state differed from those in other parts of the United states, we studied the available histopathologic materials for 272 persons of the 815
