By poll method to the families of deceased subjects, additional data on occupation-lifestyle, educational level, length of resistance and cancer mortality among relatives wewre collected.The investigationshowed that in the study area but also in certain narrower locations within it (subarea settlements), some of the tumours studied occurred at higher rates than expected.Although not conclusive, these findings majindicate a role of environmental exposure to asbestos, particularly in the occurrence of peritoneal mesothelioma.
