CONCLUSIONSüDur<strong>in</strong>g24 years of conduct<strong>in</strong>g the firstRussian systematic study ofmesothelioma epidemiology <strong>in</strong> thelargest <strong>in</strong>dustrial region of the countrywe revealed 125 cases ofmorphologically verified mesotheliomas.International Conference “<strong>Chrysotile</strong> at a Turn<strong>in</strong>g Po<strong>in</strong>t: Results and Scientific Perspectives”, May 23 – 24, 2006, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
CONCLUSIONSüTheaverage long-termmesothelioma<strong>in</strong>cidence rate <strong>in</strong> regional towns variedfrom 0.2 to 27.1 cases per million a yeardur<strong>in</strong>g the study period, the mean be<strong>in</strong>g1.1.International Conference “<strong>Chrysotile</strong> at a Turn<strong>in</strong>g Po<strong>in</strong>t: Results and Scientific Perspectives”, May 23 – 24, 2006, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
