Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos: O cancro do pâncreas apresenta elevada letalidade. Parte da sua etiologia poderá associar-se à atividade laboral, pelo que o conhecimento dos fatores de risco em ambiente de trabalho será importante para o desempenho das equipas de Saúde e Segurança ocupacionais. Assim, tendo em conta que a evidência sobre o assunto é escassa, pretendeu-se com esta revisão sintetizar a informação disponível e mais atual sobre o tema. Metodologia: O estudo de Revisão Bibliográfica, teve origem numa pesquisa realizada em janeiro de 2022, nas bases de dados “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina e RCAAP”. Conteúdo: Em 2008 estimaram-se cerca de 280.000 novos casos, mundialmente. Devido à baixa taxa de sobrevivência, o número de incidência é, a médio prazo, parecido ao da mortalidade. A taxa de sobrevivência a cinco anos em alguns países é de 7 e 8% para os sexos masculino e feminino, respetivamente. Esta patologia geralmente não apresenta resultados encorajadores em relação à quimioterapia ou radioterapia. Ainda que sem consenso total, acredita-se que o sexo masculino seja atingido com maior probabilidade. Discussão e Conclusões: Parte dos cancros pancreáticos poderá ter origem ocupacional através do contato com radiação ionizante e sobretudo alguns agentes químicos: pesticidas, fertilizantes, cádmio, níquel (e outros metais pesados), nitrosaminas, hidrocarbonetos clorinados e aromáticos policíclicos, sílica/asbestos, fluidos da metalurgia, tintas e fumos diesel. Assim, os setores profissionais mais relevantes serão a agricultura e jardinagem, limpeza a seco, construção civil/naval (e áreas afins), bem como fotografia. Tendo em conta a escassez de dados a nível nacional, seria relevante obter estudos que explorassem este fenómeno, nomeadamente, quais os níveis de exposição a fatores de risco, potencialmente cancerígenos, quais as profissões mais atingidas, que medidas de proteção foram equacionadas, bem como a sua efetividade ou, até mesmo, a taxa de retorno laboral e suas eventuais limitações.
Introduction/framework/objectives: Pancreatic cancer has a high mortality rate. Part of the etiology, for some researchers, may be related to work activities, so knowledge of risk factors may be important for the performance of Occupational Health and Security teams. Thus, taking into account that the evidence on the subject is scarce, the aim of this review was to summarize the available and most current information. Methodology: This is a Bibliographic Review, initiated through a search carried out in January 2022 in the databases “CINALH plus with full text, Medline with full text, Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Methodology Register, Nursing and Allied Health Collection: comprehensive, MedicLatina and RCAAP”. Content: In 2008, around 280,000 new cases were estimated worldwide. Due to the low survival rate, the incidence number is similar to the mortality rate in the medium term. The five-year survival rate in some countries is 7 and 8% for males and females, respectively. This pathology generally does not show encouraging results in relation to chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Although without full consensus, it is believed that males are more likely to be affected. Discussion and Conclusions: Part of pancreatic cancers may have an occupational origin through contact with ionizing radiation and, above all, some chemical agents: pesticides, fertilizers, cadmium, nickel (and other heavy metals), nitrosamines, chlorinated and polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons, silica/asbestos, metallurgy fluids, paints and diesel fumes. Thus, the most relevant professional sectors will be agriculture and gardening, dry cleaning, construction/shipbuilding (and related areas), as well as photography. Taking into account the scarcity of data at a national level, it would be relevant to obtain studies that explore this phenomenon, namely, which levels of exposure to risk factors potentially carcinogenic, which professions are most exposed, which protection measures have been equated, as well as its effectiveness or even the rate of return to work and its eventual limitations.
