Tracing the Incidence of Mesothelioma in Canada: Insights from Epidemiological Studies

The Canadian Context: Unraveling the Incidence of Mesothelioma In the quest to comprehend the incidence and implications of mesothelioma, Canada has undertaken several large epidemiological studies that shed light on the disease’s prevalence and its correlation with asbestos exposure. These efforts have been instrumental in piecing together the epidemiological puzzle of mesothelioma, tracing its roots and understanding its occupational and environmental determinants. Early Studies and Findings The pioneering work by Morrison and colleagues in 1984 provided a critical early glimpse into the landscape of pleural mesothelioma in British Columbia.
