Abstract
All studies that provided follow-up information for workers > 35 yr after initial exposure to asbestos showed a declining ratio of observed to expected lung cancer deaths at the end of follow-up. The most parsimonious explanation of this finding was that relative risk for lung cancer began to decline sometime after cessation of asbestos exposure.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
