Please use the page image as the authoritative form to ensure accuracy. 6 Description of Epidemiologic Studies Included in Evidentiary Dataset COHORT STUDIES Reports Included in the Evaluation of Cancer Risks Table 6.1 delineates the 40 main cohort populations that passed the committee’s primary eligibility criteria and were found to contain usable information on the risk of cancer at one or more of the sites of interest for this review. Some of the cohorts contained subpopulations (such as men and women) whose results were reported separately. Furthermore, tracking of multiple aspects of the health over decades in many of the cohort populations has resulted in numerous published analyses. Among these, this committee was interested in the most complete, and thus usually the most recent, citation addressing cancer incidence or mortality. Specific citations contributing information to this review are given in the rightmost column. In some instances, different publications provided the most complete information on a given subpopulation or cancer site, so more than one citation may have served as a source of evidence on a single main cohort population. Table B.1 in Appendix B provides more detail about the overall history (such as updates and the nature of asbestos to which the subjects were exposed) of each studied population on a citation-specific basis; boldface indicates particular citations that were the source of evidence abstracted for any of the cancer sites under consideration. Table 6.2 presents results observed in the informative cohort populations with regard to the recognized asbestos-related health effects: asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer. Those findings provide a rough indication Page 104 Front Matter (R1-R12) Summary (1-12) 1 Introduction (13-17) 2 Committee's Approach to Its Charge and Methods Used in Evaluation (18-48) 3 Background Information on Asbestos (49-62) 4 Exposure and Disposition (63-80) 5 Biological Aspects of Asbestos Related Diseases (81-103) 6 Description of Epidemiologic Studies Included in Evidentiary Dataset (104-158) 7 Pharyngeal Cancer and Asbestos (159-172) 8 Laryngeal Cancer and Asbestos (173-192) 9 Esophageal Cancer and Asbestos (193-202) 10 Stomach Cancer and Asbestos (203-215) 11 Colorectal Cancer and Asbestos (216-229) 12 Summary and Recommendations (230-232) APPENDIX A Agendas of Public Meetings Held by the Committee on Asbestos: Selected Health Effects (233-236) APPENDIX B Lineage and Design Properties of Studies on Cohorts Informative for Selected Cancers (237-254) APPENDIX C Description of Case-Control Studies of All Selected Cancers as Related to Exposure to Asbestos (255-270) APPENDIX D Cohort Results Tables (271-296) APPENDIX E Case-Control Results Tables (297-308) APPENDIX F Initial Analyses of Available Data Concerning Cancers of Colon and/or Rectum and Asbestos Exposure (309-322) APPENDIX G Committee on Asbestos: Selected Health Effects (323-328)
