This news is based on the following article: Paris C, Thaon I, Hérin F, et al. Occupational asbestos exposure and incidence of colon and rectal cancers in French men: The Asbestos-Related Diseases Cohort (ARDCo-Nut). Environ Health Perspect 2017; 125:409-15. doi: 10.1289/EHP153

 

This analysis of the incidence of colorectal cancer in men with previous occupational exposure to asbestos provides further support for the consideration of asbestos as a risk factor for colon cancer, although the association remains controversial.
