Background: Recent studies supported the association between occupational exposure to asbestos and risk of cholangiocarcinoma (CC). Aim of the present study is to investigate this association using an update of mortality data from the Italian pooled asbestos cohort study and to test record linkage to Cancer Registries to distinguish between hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic/extrahepatic forms of CC.
Methods: The update of a large cohort study pooling 52 Italian industrial cohorts of workers formerly exposed to asbestos was carried out.
Background: Asbestos is a known human carcinogen and is causally associated with malignant mesothelioma, lung, larynx and ovarian cancers.
Methods: Cancer risk was studied among a pool of formerly asbestos-exposed workers in Italy. Fifty-two Italian asbestos cohorts (asbestos-cement, rolling-stock, shipbuilding, and other) were pooled and their mortality follow-up was updated to 2018.
Objective: to study determinants of occupational injuries in tunnel construction using data from the surveillance system which had been implemented in order to monitor accidents during the construction of the "high speed train tracks in the Italian Regions Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany.
Design: retrospective cohort study.
Setting: 16 sites for the construction of 14 tunnels of the high speed railway-tract Bologna-Firenze, in Italy.
The SALeM (Surveillance for apprentices and minors at work) is the first dossier aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a public health program in Italy. Here we describe the main results achieved and the main methodological difficulties faced during its gathering. Aim of the dossier was to collect and weigh up all the available evidence of effectiveness referred to the program of health surveillance of apprentices and minors at work in non risky environments, as it is planned by the Italian National Health System.
