“…In a case–control study of 1833 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in France, asbestos exposure increased the risk of larynx cancer, and this risk rosed with the length and severity of asbestos exposure. 27 Besides, the stagnation of asbestos in the throat is more pronounced. 28 Similar to asbestos fiber, exposure to sulfuric acid mist and smoking have a synergistic effect on larynx cancer.…”

BackgroundLarynx cancer is one of the most common cancers in head and neck, and imposes heavy burden on individual and societies. A comprehensive understanding of the burden of larynx cancer is necessary to improve prevention and control strategies. However, the secular trend of larynx cancer incidence and mortality in China remains unclear.MethodsThe incidence and deaths rates of larynx cancer from 1990 to 2019 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 database. The temporal trend of larynx cancer was analyzed using a joinpoint regression model. The age–period–cohort model was used to explore the age, period, and cohort effects on larynx cancer and predict future trends up to 2044.ResultsFrom 1990 to 2019, the age‐standardized incidence rate of larynx cancer in China increased by 1.3% (95% CI 1.1 to 1.5) in males, but decreased by 0.5% (95% CI −0.1 to 0) in females. The age‐standardized mortality rate of larynx cancer in China decreased by 0.9% (95% CI −1.1 to −0.6) and 2.2% (95% CI −2.8 to −1.7) in males and females, respectively. Among the four risk factors, smoking and alcohol use contributed to a heavier burden compared to occupational exposure to asbestos and sulfuric acid with respect to mortality. Age effects showed that the incidence and deaths of larynx cancer were concentrated in people older than 50 years old. Period effects exerted the most significant effect on larynx cancer incidence for males. In terms of cohort effects, people born in the earlier cohorts presented a higher risk of larynx cancer compared with the later cohorts. From 2020 to 2044, the age‐standardized incidence rates of larynx cancer continued to increase in males, whereas the age‐standardized mortality rates continued to decrease in both males and females.ConclusionThe burden of larynx cancer in China has a significant gender difference. The age‐standardized incidence rates will continue to increase in males up to 2044. The disease pattern and risk factors of larynx cancer should be comprehensively studied to promote the development of timely intervention measures and relieve the burden effectively.

“…After the first recognized case of occupational cancer to be caused by asbestos exposure occurred in an asbestos textile factory in 1993 [5], reports of occupational ARDs among construction and shipbuilding industries increased in Korea [6, 7]. Reports of other diseases, such as gastric cancer and laryngeal cancer, as ARDs have also been increasing in Korea [8, 9]. …”

In 2009, Korea banned the import, transport, and use of asbestos, and the Asbestos Injury Relief Act (AIRA) was promulgated in 2011. Two environmental health centers for asbestos (EHCA), including Pusan National University Yangsan Hospital (PNUYH) and SoonChunHyang University Cheonan Hospital (SCHUCH), were adapted to find environmental asbestos-related diseases (ARDs) and to support the purposes of AIRA. EHCA conducted a health impact survey (HIS) on persons who resided or reside near asbestos factories or mines. A total of 13,433 persons have taken screening examinations in PNUYH EHCA, and 623 persons (4.6%) have had secondary examinations. Of the 21,014 persons who had screening examinations in SCHUCH EHCA, 2490 persons (11.8%) had secondary examinations. Some of those who tested positive for ARDs through HISs filed applications for the asbestos victims’ medical pocketbook (AVMP). Approximately 116 and 612 persons received AVMPs as a result of PNUYH and SCHUCH examinees, respectively. EHCAs have conducted HISs, public relations, and education for asbestos victims, ordinary citizens, and physicians. As HISs are based on voluntary participation, they does not monitor high-risk groups. Active surveillance focusing on high-risk groups has been blocked by the personal information protection act. Although important work has been performed in finding environmental asbestos victims and increasing public awareness on asbestos, it is necessary to improve the current system and registration.
