title: French mesothelioma register: critical appraisal of the registered data.
abstract: The French mesothelioma register has three objectives. The first, collection of morbidity data could not be achieved since the data collected are not exhaustive. The second, the collection of histological material for establishing diagnostic criteria, has provided interesting data; and the third, etiological research, may constitute the basis for well-defined studies.
