| Abstract |
A review of the literature on asbestos-exposed workers with consequent risk of developing respiratory cancer. Surveillance programmes at the national, industrial and workplace levels are surveyed. The results of three chemoprevention trials suggest that there are, as yet, no practical tools for efficient, safe prevention of asbestos-induced respiratory malignancies. |
