Mesotheliomas

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer for which asbestos is the only known risk factor. Its incidence is on the rise, particularly among women. It qualifies for medical and social benefits.

Our missions

  • Monitoring trends in the epidemiological situation of mesothelioma by producing national and subnational surveillance indicators (incidence, survival, mortality)

  • Monitoring trends in occupational and non-occupational exposure to asbestos and other risk factors suspected of causing mesothelioma

  • Monitoring trends in the medical and social recognition process for mesothelioma: reporting as an occupational disease, claims to the Asbestos Victims Compensation Fund (FIVA)
