Global asbestos consumption has shifted toward lower income countries, particularly in the Asian region including Vietnam where asbestos and asbestos-containing products have been imported since the late 1960s.
This pilot descriptive epidemiological study aimed to provide contemporary estimates of malignant mesothelioma incidence (histological subtype M9050/3; ICD-O-3) by gender and age group as recorded across nine cancer registries in Vietnam.
We identified 148 incident cases of malignant mesothelioma during 1987-2013. The majority of cases were recorded in the Hanoi region (n = 93) and were aged 55 years or older (n = 96).
By carefully reviewing existing cancer registry records in Vietnam, we identified a larger number of malignant mesothelioma cases than previously estimated. We recommend the use of cancer registry data in tracking future asbestos-related disease in Vietnam.
全球石棉消费已转向低收入国家,尤其是在亚洲地区,包括越南,自20世纪60年代末以来,越南一直进口石棉及含石棉产品。
这项试点描述性流行病学研究旨在按性别和年龄组提供越南九个癌症登记处记录的恶性间皮瘤发病率(组织学亚型M9050/3;ICD-O-3)的当代估计值。
我们在1987年至2013年期间确定了148例恶性间皮瘤病例。大多数病例记录在河内地区(n = 93),年龄在55岁及以上(n = 96)。
通过仔细审查越南现有的癌症登记记录,我们发现恶性间皮瘤病例数量比之前估计的要多。我们建议利用癌症登记数据追踪越南未来与石棉相关的疾病。
