Pathology of Asbestos-Associated Diseases integrates the newest
research and advances in its discussion of asbestos-induced
diseases. Organized in 13 chapters, the book begins with background
information on the mineralogy of asbestos, occupation and
environmental exposure to asbestos, and asbestosis. A detailed
discussion on mesothelioma includes a historical background,
addresses etiologic considerations and epidemiology, pathologic
features, differential diagnosis and treatment and prognosis.
Guidelines for assessing and identifying asbestos-associated
carcinomas of the lung, including histopathology and differential
diagnosis, are discussed. The text also addresses the explosion of
research in the area of molecular biology and the abundance of
information bearing on the mechanisms by which asbestos causes
disease. Chapters also cover cytopathology and experimental models
of asbestos-related diseases. The diseases associated with asbestos
have significant medico-legal implications, and there are two
chapters dedicated to addressing the issue. More than 190
illustrations complement the text. An invaluable reference for the
pathologist, pulmonologist, radiologist, and occupational medical
practitioner interested in asbestos-related disease as well as
malpractice attorneys needing an understanding of asbestos, the
diseases it induces, prognosis and clinical implications.
