Article Synopsis
- The study examined the link between pharyngeal/tonsillar cancer and carcinogen exposure at an asphalt roll company in Italy that used asbestos until 1979.
- Researchers analyzed workers from both the original factory (1964-1979) and the new factory (1980-1997) to assess health outcomes related to their exposure.
- The findings showed a significantly high mortality rate from pharyngeal/tonsillar carcinoma in the earlier group, suggesting that asbestos and other carcinogens may have contributed to the increased cancer risk before the factory changed its production process.
