Although reported incidence rates have increased in the past 20 years mesothelioma is still a relatively rare cancer The incidence is approximately one per 1 000 000 For comparison |

to some extent because of greater statistical variation due to the smaller overall numbers Rates for females are generally speaking an order of magnitude lower than those for males Table MESO05 shows standardised mesothelioma death rates per million by 3 year time period government office region and sex The period 1990 1992 was taken as the base for standardisation |

the national average are less common and tend to have a lower proportion of asbestos exposed cases and lower PAR compared to those covering areas with rates above the national averages Further several types of bias might influence the risk estimates made for these populations The characterization of exposure is usually based on self reported exposure or exposure |
