While many studies received high ratings for individual metrics such as study participation and outcome assessment, limitations in other metrics or domains precluded some studies from receiving a high overall rating. International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Review and Research, Cosmetics are the products that are used to apply to our skin, face and hair every day and its uses are increasing around the world. Evidence integration summary judgment: lung cancer and mesothelioma. Across all cohort studies, observed numbers of deaths for site-specific cancers among talc miners and millers (either combined or separately) were compared with expected numbers based on national and/or regional reference rates. A few studies reported excess lung cancer mortality, but lung cancer mortality risk did not increase with increasing talc exposure and the association potentially was confounded by smoking. Public Health 10:989111. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2022.989111.

Historical air sampling records (i.e., total respirable dust) also were available at some locations. I have just had a review of his statement and they are concerned about his TALC 2 results he scored level 2 and they have said he should be at level 4, They said he has no imagination and is forgetful, he finds English confusing and he does not understand it but is good at spelling. In summary, lung cancer mortality was not elevated among most of the cohorts of talc miners and millers exposed to high levels of respirable talcs and accessory minerals. Additional searches were run using filters for animal/toxicology studies, and for mechanistic/mode of action (MOA) studies, using search terms including, but not limited to the following: micronuclei, sister chromatid exchange, chromosome aberrations, DNA adduct, DNA methylation, inflammation, mechanism, and MOA.

However, macrophage numbers decreased in days 414, and remained decreased, indicative of a chronic effect. Lung tumors occurred at very high administered doses that appeared to cause particle overload and using micronized talc (not typical of talc mining or milling exposures, or of cosmetic talcum powder products), limiting the ability to extrapolate these findings to relevant exposures in humans. Email office@sltforkids.co.uk or call 0330 088 2298. The National Toxicology Program (19) exposed F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice to air or micronized Pfizer MP 1052 talc via whole-body inhalation. Occup Env Med. (30) reported no increased lung cancer mortality among French (SMR = 1.23; 95% CI: 0.761.89) and Austrian (SMR = 1.06; 95% CI: 0.432.19) talc mining and processing employees (30). All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations, or those of the publisher, the editors and the reviewers. As noted above, the talcs produced from these mines have been reported not to contain asbestiform minerals and testing has not produced reliably detectable levels of asbestos of any fiber type [e.g., regarding the Italian mines, see (1)]. Pierce JS, Riordan AS, Miller EW, Gaffney SH, Hollins DM. For pulmonary cancers, it is therefore plausible that talc could cause irritation and a cascade of inflammatory mechanisms. Smoking histories were not available for many workers, but all lung cancer cases were known to have been cigarette smokers (31). 49. Among 705 white men employed between 1957 and 1977, lung cancer mortality was statistically significantly elevated among workers employed < 1 year (SMR = 3.17, based on six lung cancer deaths). Because the case-control studies were nested within cohorts, we did not expect substantive differences in quality. 0000018770 00000 n In its most recent review of talc, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded [t]here is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of inhaled talc (4).

In one study, Syrian golden hamsters were administered a single, 2-h, nose-only exposure to commercial baby powder (MMAD of 6.46.9 m) (15, 16). Wild P, Leodolter K, Refregier M, Schmidt H, Zidek T, Haidinger G, et al. The literature search and selection process identified 23 primary studies that assessed exposure to talc and pulmonary cancer risks in humans (n = 19) and animals (n = 3). After excluding studies based on exposure route, non-pulmonary outcome, and administration of talc as part of a mixture, three studies remained for study quality evaluation (1719). Overall conclusions were derived for each cancer: sufficient evidence of a causal relationship; sufficient evidence, suggestive evidence, or inadequate/insufficient evidence of an association; or suggestive evidence of no association. Stille WT, Tabershaw IR. No epidemiological studies were identified that assessed consumer use of talc and talcum powder products. TALC is a set of learning modules covering all aspects of teaching and learning consultation skills. In contrast to the lack of excess lung cancer deaths among talc miners and millers, a strong and consistent association has been observed between occupational talc exposure and non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD), including pneumoconiosis (30, 43, 49, 56). None of these studies met our inclusion criteria and therefore did not undergo full study quality review. doi: 10.1080/08958378.2020.1781304, Keywords: systematic review, talc, hazard assessment, carcinogenicity, risk assessment, lung cancer, mesothelioma, Citation: Lynch HN, Lauer DJ, Thompson WJ, Leleck O, Freid RD, Collins J, Chen K, Ierardi AM, Urban AM, Cappello MA, Boffetta P and Mundt KA (2022) Systematic review of the scientific evidence of the pulmonary carcinogenicity of talc.

Kleinfeld and coworkers published two proportionate mortality studies on miners and millers in upstate New York potentially exposed to talc with asbestiform or non-asbestiform amphibole minerals, largely in response to reports of fibrogenic pneumoconiosis (44, 45). Washington,DC: Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment, Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (2020).

Generally, aerosolized talc has an alveolar biological half-life of about 710 days in animals. The molecular weight is 379.3 g/mole. A nested case-control analysis showed no association of lung cancer with increasing cumulative exposure to talc, after adjusting for smoking, exposure to quartz, and underground work (30).

The talc powder contains 95% of hydrated magnesium silicate; associated minerals include chlorites (hydrated aluminum and magnesium silicates), magnesite (magnesium carbonate), Talc was also negative in a companion host-mediated mutagenicity assay using male ICR mice injected with Salmonella typhimurium and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with and without metabolic activation (16). Talc is a hydrous magnesium sheet silicate (Mg3Si4O10(OH)2) with particles that are plate-like in structure. Talc was negative for mutagenicity and other forms of genotoxicity in all available assays, described in brief below. Authors KM, WT, MC, and AI have been retained as expert witnesses on behalf of defendants in litigation matters in which it has been alleged that products containing talc caused mesothelioma or other cancers.

Vanderbilt Company, Gouverneur, NY. The normalized lung talc burdens for both mice and rats were lower at the lowest exposure level than at the two higher exposure levels; however, the difference was statistically significant only for the rats. Our systematic review methods adhere to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews, International journal of environmental research and public health. Briefly, the cohorts ranged in size from about 400 (53) to over 1,700 (1) miners and millers that were followed for mortality for up to seven decades. (1995) 21:2449. There is no credible evidence of a cancer risk from inhalation of cosmetic talc by humans from retrospective epidemiological, statistically barely significant case-control studies of questionable biological import, and convincing scientific documentation is shown. 18.

Although one meta-analysis (5) reported a statistically significant meta-SMR of 1.45 (95% CI: 1.221.72) for non-asbestiform talc and lung cancer, this review included several occupational cohorts with mixed exposures to possible lung carcinogens such as silica, asbestos, and radon (miners) resulting in high heterogeneity across reported study results. Methods used to derive cause of death were poorly described, and included a variety of sources including death certificates, employment records, and hospital records, resulting in a low quality rating for that domain, and low overall quality rating (44, 45).
