Authors’ response: Mezei et al's "Comments on a recent case-control study of malignant mesothelioma of the pericardium and the tunica vaginalis testis"
Mezei et al’s letter [1] is an opportunity to provide more details about our study on pericardial and tunica vaginalis testis (TVT) mesothelioma [2], which is based on the Italian national mesothelioma registry (ReNaM): a surveillance system on mesothelioma, with individual asbestos exposure assessment
We confirmed positive associations with occupational exposure to asbestos of pericardial mesothelioma, with odds ratios (OR) of 9.16 among women [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.56–150] and 5.63 among men; for TVT mesothelioma the OR was 7.70
