A 'risk reversal' has been observed for several human carcinogens following cessation of exposure, but it is unclear whether it also exists for asbestos-related mesothelioma.
We conducted a systematic review of the literature and identified nine studies that reported information on risk of mesothelioma after cessation of asbestos exposure, and performed a meta-regression based on random effects models. As comparison we analyzed results on lung cancer risk from four of these studies.
A total of six risk estimates from five studies were included in the meta-analysis. The summary relative risk (RR) of mesothelioma for 10-year interval since cessation of exposure was 1.02 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87-1.19; p-heterogeneity 0.01]. The corresponding RR of lung cancer was 0.91 (95% CI 0.84-0.98).
This analysis provides evidence that the risk of mesothelioma does not decrease after cessation of asbestos exposure, while lung cancer risk does.
在停止接触几种人类致癌物后,观察到了“风险逆转”,但尚不清楚这是否也适用于与石棉相关的间皮瘤。
我们对文献进行了系统综述,确定了九项报告了石棉暴露停止后间皮瘤风险信息的研究,并基于随机效应模型进行了荟萃回归分析。作为比较,我们分析了其中四项研究中关于肺癌风险的结果。
荟萃分析纳入了五项研究中的六项风险估计值。暴露停止后 10 年的间皮瘤汇总相对风险(RR)为 1.02(95%置信区间(CI)0.87-1.19;p-异质性 0.01)。相应的肺癌 RR 为 0.91(95%CI 0.84-0.98)。
这项分析提供了证据表明,石棉暴露停止后,间皮瘤的风险不会降低,而肺癌风险会降低。
