“…Different meta-analyses have claimed a possible association between asbestos exposure and prostate cancer [82,83]. Due to the statistical incongruences and methodological doubts, this evidence cannot be considered conclusive enough compared to other tumors, and another meta-analysis has claimed and disconfirmed these results [84]. Similar findings were achieved also for renal cell carcinoma by two different meta-analyses, resulting in one of them a RR of 1.1 (95% CI: 1.0-1.3), thus demonstrating a lack of correlation [85,86].…”

Environmental and occupational exposures have been associated with an increased risk of different types of cancers, although the exact mechanisms of higher carcinogenesis risk are not always well understood. Lung cancer is the leading cause of global cancer mortality, and, also, genitourinary neoplasms are among the main causes of cancer-related deaths in Western countries. The purpose of this review is to describe the main environmental and occupational factors that increase the risk of developing lung and genitourinary cancers and to investigate carcinogenesis mechanisms that link these agents to cancer onset. Further objectives are to identify methods for the prevention or the early detection of carcinogenic agents and, therefore, to reduce the risk of developing these cancers or to detect them at earlier stages.

“…9 The association of asbestos exposure and other malignancies has been studied with variable results, as authors of recent reviews and meta-analyses have claimed that asbestos is a risk factor for esophageal and colorectal cancers, whereas no association was found with kidney and prostate cancers. [10][11][12][13] Given that little is known about the nonmalignant comorbidities of asbestosis patients, our aim was to investigate the comorbidities as well as both the underlying and immediate causes of death of patients with asbestosis. Furthermore, the association of the most common comorbidities with the prognosis of asbestosis patients was evaluated.…”

Objective: Comorbidities are common and affect the prognosis of patients with interstitial lung diseases, but few previous studies have investigated patients with asbestosis. Methods: We collected comorbidities and death causes of 116 patients with asbestosis treated in Oulu University Hospital. Causes of death were confirmed by autopsy in 68% of the cases. Results: The most common comorbidities of asbestosis patients were pleural plaques (96%) and coronary artery disease (CAD; 67%). The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis was 8.6%. The most common underlying causes of death were asbestosis (36%), CAD (24%), and lung cancer (LC) (10%). CAD and LC were associated with shorter survival in adjusted analyses. Conclusions: Patients with asbestosis have multiple comorbidities. Prevention and treatment of CAD and LC may influence the prognosis of asbestosis patients.
