N2 - Malignant mesothelioma of the pleura represents a signal tumour for (occupational) exposure to asbestos. Almost 20 years after the ban of asbestos in Germany, incident cases are still occurring due to the long latency period between the initial exposure to asbestos and the onset of the tumour. Of particular interest is the development of mesothelioma epidemiology. In Germany, it is extensively discussed whether the incidence of malignant pleura mesothelioma continues to rise, has already reached a plateau or is expected to decline in the next few years. The development is predominantly caused by the total asbestos use, its application and the gradual substitution of asbestos. The prevention of asbestos-related diseases due to former exposures, but also due to existing asbestos contaminations and their restoration is still a hot topic in occupational medicine. It is thus of major importance to ensure an adequate occupational safety and to care for asbestos-exposed workers - even after cessation of their exposure - with effective and efficient measures of early detection. New technologies, such as nanotechnology with carbon nanotubes, represent new potential health hazards.
