摘要
Evidence is presented showing that mesotheliomas can have causes other than exposure to asbestos dust, in both experimental animals and humans. In experimental animals, for example, results from two major experimental laboratories suggest that at least 10% may be taken for background incidence, whereas a third laboratory suggests that the experimental group must have a rate exceeding 30% "Background" also includes mesotheliomas found in association with non-fibrous and fibrous nonasbestiform agents. Mesotheliomas in humans can be broadly classified in a manner similar to those of experimental animals: (1) spontaneously occurring, (2) those with a latent period less than 10 years, (3) childhood mesotheliomas, (4) familial cases, (5) cases before the 20th century, (6) mineralogically negative mesotheliomas, and (7) mesotheliomas caused by nonasbestiform agents. The importance of the acceptance of these "background" cases lies in the fact that a basis is provided for the study of the incidence of disease associated with various types of asbestos. © 1991.
