A new research letter published online by JAMA Oncology<\/em> looks at asbestos exposure and malignant mesothelioma in Eastern China.<\/p>\n

The study examined tumors diagnosed as malignant mesothelioma from 2002 through 2015 at two Chinese hospitals – one in Hangzhou, China, where there is no asbestos industry and one in Yuyao, China, located in the Chinese textile asbestos industrial area, where most patients are exposed to asbestos.<\/p>\n

The authors reviewed 92 malignant mesotheliomas and confirmed the diagnosis in 28 patients from the hospital in Hangzhou and in 24 patients from Yuyao. The male-to-female ratio was 1 to 4 compared to 4 to 1 in the U.S. Also, 20 of the 52 malignant mesotheliomas occurred in asbestos-exposed individuals at the Hangzhou location and 18 of 24 at Yuyao. <\/p>\n
