Until recently, asbestos was widely used in a variety of industrial processes. Workers exposed to asbestos may develop lung and pleural diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, benign pleural effusion, pleural plaques and mesothelioma.
To describe a clinical case of lung cancer in a female non-smoker with occupational exposure to asbestos.
The clinical and occupational history was based on the information kindly provided by the Occupational Unit of the National Health Service and on the case history of a hospital admittance in 2001, when the patient underwent surgery for lung cancer.
The patient worked for 6 years in an asbestos manufacturing industry where she was exposed to high concentrations of asbestos, and then worked for 14 years in a sugar refinery only during the summer. She had benign pleural effusion, pleural plaques, asbestosis and lung cancer.
We concluded that a six-year exposure to high doses of asbestos may induce lung cancer and asbestosis in a female non-smoker.
直到最近，石棉仍广泛应用于各种工业生产过程中。接触石棉的工人可能会患上肺部和胸膜疾病，如石棉肺、肺癌、良性胸腔积液、胸膜斑和间皮瘤。
描述一名职业接触石棉的非吸烟女性肺癌患者的临床病例。
临床和职业病史基于国家卫生服务职业部门提供的信息以及2001年患者因肺癌接受手术时的住院病历。
该患者在石棉制造业工作了6年，期间接触高浓度石棉，之后仅在夏季于一家糖厂工作了14年。她患有良性胸腔积液、胸膜斑、石棉肺和肺癌。
我们得出结论，六年高剂量石棉接触可能导致一名非吸烟女性患肺癌和石棉肺。
