| Resumen |
The risk of urogenital cancer in workers exposed to asbestos was evaluated using the results of published studies. The pooled standardized mortality ratios (SMRs), based on the results of cohort studies, were significantly increased (p≤0.05) for ovarian and kidney cancer in North American studies but not elsewhere. In part, this increase is probably due to the use of inappropriate comparison populations and the failure to take into account risk factors associated with urogenital cancer. Other types of studies generally did not indicate that exposure to asbestos increases the risk of urogenital cancer. Generally, there is not enough information to determine whether there is a relationship between exposure to asbestos and urogenital cancers. |
