Abstract

The relationship between asbestos and prostate cancer (PCa) is not well understood due to small number of cases. This study aimed to determine the incidence and mortality of PCa among workers or residents exposed to asbestos based on a systematic review and meta-analysis METHODS: All published studies citing the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) or standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of PCa in workers or residents exposed to asbestos were collected by conducting a search on PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science before April 2018. Standardized mortality rate for PCa with its 95% confidence interval (CI) was pooled using a fixed-/random-effect model in STATA (Version14.0). This study is registered with PROSPERO, number CRD42018095195.
