Interest of Morphometric Analysis of Sputum Cytology for Lung Cancer Screening in Workers Highly Exposed to Asbestos - Exploratory Analysis of Biomarkers Predictive for Lung Cancer
Inclusion Criteria:
- High professional asbestos exposure
- Member of a former cohort recruited between 2000 and 2006 in Caen, Rouen and Le Havre
(inclusion criteria: 50-75 years at the time of initial recruitment, high
intermittent asbestos exposure >= 1 year, or high discontinuous asbestos exposure
>=10 years). All the living members of the cohort will be contacted: a maximum of
1000 subjects is expected, probably less.

Exclusion Criteria:
- Personal history of lung cancer
- Refusal of the study protocol
- Uncontrolled asthma or lung failure
