“…The patient reported the use of cosmetic talc for perineal hygiene from birth (1933) until 1980. It is well documented that until 1976, cosmetic talc was frequently contaminated by asbestos [ 31 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]. SEM-EDS analyses revealed the presence of fibers probably attributable to asbestos tremolite.…”

“…Concerning the role of contaminated talc, the first reports that suggested cosmetic talc use in the genital region as a possible factor for ovarian cancer date back to the 1970s [ 12 , 174 , 175 ], and until 1976 cosmetic talc was frequently contaminated by asbestos [ 31 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 ]. However, this remains an open debate with not yet conclusive results.…”

“…Of thirty-two epidemiologic studies of talc and ovarian cancer, twelve accepted the claim that cosmetic talc products have been asbestos-free since 1976. 15 Without an alternative mechanistic explanation, some researchers rejected causal associations between talc use and ovarian cancer. 15 …”
