Mesothelioma is a rare neoplasm, the occurrence of which has been clearly related to asbestos exposure. Data recently collected by population based cancer registries in Washington, Hawaii, New Mexico, Connecticut, Michigan, Utah, Louisiana and Iowa were obtained for the determination of mesothelioma incidence rates. These registries represent a total population of over 16 million persons. Crude incidence rates were found to range from 3.0 to 7.1 per million per year. Age specific incidence rates showed a steady increase from the third through the eighth decade, with a more rapid increase for males than females. Sex specific incidence rates, age adjusted to the 1970 U.S. population, were found to range from 4.4 to 11.1 per million per year for males and from 1.2 to 3.8 per million per year for females. The highest rates for both males and females were found in the New Orleans area of Louisiana and the Puget Sound area of Washington state, both with significant shipbuilding activity.
间皮瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，其发生与接触石棉有明确关联。获取了华盛顿州、夏威夷州、新墨西哥州、康涅狄格州、密歇根州、犹他州、路易斯安那州和爱荷华州基于人群的癌症登记处最近收集的数据，用于确定间皮瘤发病率。这些登记处代表的总人口超过1600万。发现粗发病率为每年每百万3.0至7.1例。年龄别发病率从第三个十年到第八个十年呈稳步上升，男性上升速度比女性更快。按1970年美国人口年龄调整后的性别特异性发病率，男性为每年每百万4.4至11.1例，女性为每年每百万1.2至3.8例。男性和女性发病率最高的地区是路易斯安那州的新奥尔良地区和华盛顿州的普吉特海湾地区，这两个地区都有大量的造船活动。
