In a retrospective study of 49 cases of asbestosis, a steady increase in the frequency of diagnosis of asbestosis and asbestos-related neoplasia is documented from a major urban hospital since 1960. Although in the majority of cases the subjects were exposed to asbestos in a neighboring shipyard, in 20 per cent of the cases, asbestos exposure was in industries not related to shipbuilding, reflecting its widespread use. This selective population of patients with asbestosis more often than not had an associated neoplasm. The most likely accompanying tumor was pleural mesothelioma, and among cell types of lung cancer, adenocarcinoma was notably frequent.
在一项对49例石棉沉着病患者的回顾性研究中，自1960年以来，一家大型城市医院记录到石棉沉着病及石棉相关肿瘤的诊断频率稳步上升。尽管大多数病例中的患者是在附近造船厂接触石棉的，但在20%的病例中，石棉暴露发生在与造船无关的行业，这反映了石棉的广泛使用。这群患石棉沉着病的患者往往伴有肿瘤。最可能伴随的肿瘤是胸膜间皮瘤，在肺癌的细胞类型中，腺癌尤为常见。
