- Authors
Harber, Philip
- Abstract
The article highlights a study on the relationship of pleural plaques to lung cancer risk. Topics discussed include risks of asbestosis, lung cancer, malignant mesothelioma effects continue for many former exposed workers and family members with prior paraoccupational exposure; low dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening of high-risk tobacco smoking–exposed populations; and LDCT screening of exposed workers detects lung cancers with yields similar to those of high-risk smokers.
