Asbestos Carcinogenesis

  • Chapter
Inorganic and Nutritional Aspects of Cancer

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 91))

Abstract

In countries where vital statistics concerning causes of death have been kept and mortality and morbidity data are validated by clinical and autopsy information, cancer deaths have increased dramatically (e.g., the United States, Silverberg and Holleb, 1972. (1) Some forms of malignant tumors have increased at alarming rates; such is the case for lung cancer, colon cancer, and bladder cancer. As an example, lung cancer now accounts for one of every six male deaths in Glasgow, Scotland (Haddow, 1970).(2). Some investigators have attributed the increasing cancer incidence to the inadvertent introduction of carcinogenic agents into the environment as pollutants (Boyland, 1969).(3) These agents, which represent low-level, long-term insult to the host, may represent one of the most important factors in the etiology of malignant neoplasms in the general population (Saffioti, 1970).(4)
