To prevent respiratory infections, patients should be immunized against influenza and pneumococcal infections, and antibiotic therapy should be administered promptly for suspected bacterial respiratory infections.

Any patient who has CBD or is sensitized to beryllium should be removed from further exposure to beryllium.

Strongly encourage smokers to quit. Symptomatic patientsshould be evaluated. X-ray and sputum cytology have been used for case finding in asymptomatic patients. However, these tests did not lower mortality from lung cancer in screening trials.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is planning screening trials to evaluate new techniques for lung cancer screening. If your patient is concerned about lung cancer and may want to participate in a lung cancer screening trial, call the NCI toll free line 1-800-4-CANCER for further information.

For patients at increased risk of oral cancer, NCI recommends periodic complete oral examinations by a dentist or physician.

If you have any questions or you want a copy of these reports or the cited references, call 1-800-356-4674. Say you are calling about the beryllium study.
