▸ The association between asbestos exposure and
digestive cancers remained uncertain.
▸ This study found that workers with high
cumulative exposure to chrysotile mining dust
had significantly excessive mortality from
cancer of stomach, oesophagus and liver.
A clear exposure–response trend was seen in
stomach cancer when either external or internal
comparison was made.
▸ The study provides additional evidence for
increased mortality from digestive cancers,
particularly stomach cancer, associated with
the high level of exposure to chrysotile
containing dust.
▸ Although more studies on this topic are needed,
the current result highlights the necessity of
banning all forms of asbestos globally.
