      <dc:description>Background: In 1978, asbestos-related occupational cancers were added to the Spanish list of&#xd;
occupational diseases. However, there are no full accounts of compensated cases since their inclusion.&#xd;
Objective: To analyze the cases of asbestos-related cancer recognized as occupational in Spain between&#xd;
1978 and 2011.&#xd;
Methods: Cases were obtained from the Spanish Employment Ministry. Specific incidence rates by year,&#xd;
economic activity, and occupation were obtained. We compared mortality rates of mesothelioma and&#xd;
bronchus and lung cancer mortality in Spain and the European Union.&#xd;
Results: Between 1978 and 2011, 164 asbestos-related occupational cancers were recognized in Spain,&#xd;
with a mean annual rate of 0.08 per 105 employees (0.13 in males, 0.002 in females). Under-recognition&#xd;
rates were an estimated 93.6% (males) and 99.7% (females) for pleural mesothelioma and 98.8% (males)&#xd;
and 100% (females) for bronchus and lung cancer. In Europe for the year 2000, asbestos-related&#xd;
occupational cancer rates ranged from 0.04 per 105 employees in Spain to 7.32 per 105 employees in&#xd;
Norway.&#xd;
Conclusions: These findings provide evidence of gross under-recognition of asbestos-related occupational&#xd;
cancers in Spain. Future work should investigate cases treated in the National Healthcare System to better&#xd;
establish the impact of asbestos on health in Spain.</dc:description>
