Occupational cancer: a sistematic review

Resumos

A exposição a substâncias carcinogênicas é reconhecidamente maior nos ambientes de trabalho, e muitas destas foram assim classificadas a partir de estudos epidemiológicos realizados com populações trabalhadoras. O objetivo do estudo foi realizar uma revisão integrativa sobre os principais agentes carcinogênicos presentes no ambiente de trabalho, bem como as principais topografias acometidas por estas substâncias. Foi realizado levantamento nas bases de dados Lilacs e Medline, cujo termo de busca foi "occupational cancer" e "câncer ocupacional". Observou-se que os artigos apontam para o fato de ser provável que a exposição ambiental/ocupacional à agentes químicos de uma forma geral esteja contribuindo também para o adoecimento da população, sem que uma relação entre causa e efeito seja estabelecida. A difusão de substâncias químicas não ocorre exclusivamente através das conhecidas formas de poluição. Portanto, é de fundamental importância a construção de um sistema de vigilância destes agravos que cumpra dois objetivos principais: a identificação e controle de ambientes de trabalho onde existe potencial exposição à agentes carcinogênicos e a sistematização de informações necessárias à realização de estudos epidemiológicos de caráter exploratório ou analítico.

Exposure to carcinogenic substances is known in most work environments, and many of these were classified as from epidemiological studies on working populations. The objective of this study is an integrative review on the main carcinogens at work environment as well as the main topographies affected by these substances. Survey was conducted in the databases Medline and Lilacs, whose term has been "câncer ocupacional" and "occupational cancer". It was observed that the articles point to the fact that it is likely that exposure to environmental/occupational to chemicals in general is also contribute to the disease population, without any relationship between cause and effect is established. The diffusion of chemicals does not occur exclusively through the known forms of pollution. It is therefore of paramount importance to build a surveillance system that meets these injuries two main objectives: to identify and control work environments where there is potential exposure to carcinogenic agents and systematization of information necessary to conduct epidemiological studies, whether exploratory or analytical.
