          Abstract

          Resumen Navarra cuenta con el primer y más exhaustivo Registro de trabajadores expuestos laboralmente a amianto de España. Desde 1996 son remitidos por los Servicios de Prevención y pasan al Servicio Navarro de Salud_Osasunbidea para la vigilancia de patología neumológica relacionada, al jubilarse. Actualmente constan 2858 trabajadores, 395 mujeres y 2463 hombres. La práctica totalidad ya no ocupan puestos de riesgo. Durante años ha ayudado al reconocimiento de la contingencia profesional de los daños. Paradógicamente, en este caso, un trabajador fallecido por cáncer de pulmón con patología intersticial previa, un resultado negativo de necropsia, 425CF (cuerpos ferruginosos)/gr de tejido seco de pulmón se utilizó como argumento para rechazar el origen profesional. Es necesario considerar que un resultado positivo confirma exposición pasada pero uno negativo, si era crisotilo, no la descarta, dada la baja persistencia en tejidos. Una historia laboral detallada y, cuando existan, los Registros han de ser el principal argumento causal.

          Abstract Navarra has the first and most exhaustive Record of workers exposed to asbestos in Spain. Since 1996, referred by the Prevention Services and transferred to the Servicio Navarro de Salud_Osasunbidea for related pulmonary pathology surveillance upon retirement. There are currently 2,858 workers, 395 women and 2,463 men. Almost no longer occupy positions of risk. For years it has helped to recognize the professional contingency of damages. Paradoxically, in this case, a worker who died of lung cancer with previous interstitial pathology, a negative result of an autopsy, 425ferruginous bodies/gr dry lung tissue was used to deny the professional origin. It is necessary to consider that a positive result confirms past exposure but the negative one should not be evaluated when it was chrysotile, given the low temporal persistence in tissues. A reliable work history and, when they exist, the Records must be the main causal argument.

            Asbestos, asbestosis, smoking, and lung cancer. New findings from the North American insulator cohort.

            Asbestos, smoking, and asbestosis increase lung cancer risk in incompletely elucidated ways. Smoking cessation among asbestos-exposed cohorts has been little studied. To measure the contributions of asbestos exposure, asbestosis, smoking, and their interactions to lung cancer risk in an asbestos-exposed cohort and to describe their reduction in lung cancer risk when they stop smoking. We examined lung cancer mortality obtained through the National Death Index for 1981 to 2008 for 2,377 male North American insulators for whom chest X-ray, spirometric, occupational, and smoking data were collected in 1981 to 1983 and for 54,243 non-asbestos-exposed blue collar male workers from Cancer Prevention Study II for whom occupational and smoking data were collected in 1982. Lung cancer caused 339 (19%) insulator deaths. Lung cancer mortality was increased by asbestos exposure alone among nonsmokers (rate ratio = 3.6 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.7-7.6]), by asbestosis among nonsmokers (rate ratio = 7.40 [95% CI, 4.0-13.7]), and by smoking without asbestos exposure (rate ratio = 10.3 [95% CI, 8.8-12.2]). The joint effect of smoking and asbestos alone was additive (rate ratio = 14.4 [95% CI, 10.7-19.4]) and with asbestosis, supra-additive (rate ratio = 36.8 [95% CI, 30.1-45.0]). Insulator lung cancer mortality halved within 10 years of smoking cessation and converged with that of never-smokers 30 years after smoking cessation. Asbestos increases lung cancer mortality among nonsmokers. Asbestosis further increases the lung cancer risk and, considered jointly with smoking, has a supra-additive effect. Insulators benefit greatly by quitting smoking.
