Abstract

Australia has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma in the world. The burden will continue for many years with an increasing number of subjects at risk of the disease. Earlier detection of the neoplasm may favor a better treatment of the disease. Therefore, development of early markers of disease progression will be useful in better screening or early detection in high-risk groups. However, continued vigilance and awareness of asbestos-induced risks need be maintained.

Keywords: Australia, Asbestos, amosite, crocidolite, chrysotile, Epidemiology.
