Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos: Existem estudos que alertam para a possibilidade de a incidência de Cancro de Fígado estar aumentada em trabalhadores de alguns setores profissionais. Essa informação é, no entanto, sumária, podendo não estar disponível para as equipas de Saúde e Segurança Ocupacional de forma a tomarem medidas nos locais de trabalho de maior risco e/ou estudarem a incidência desse fenómeno. Assim, objetivou-se com este trabalho resumir os dados mais relevantes sobre este tema, de modo a potenciar o desenvolvimento de ambientes laborais mais saudáveis e seguros. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica, 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”, da qual resultou um estudo de Revisão Bibliográfica. Conteúdo: O Cancro do Fígado é o quinto ou sexto mais frequente a nível mundial e o segundo mais mortal, com cerca de 750.000 casos/ano. 80% dos casos ocorrem na Ásia e África subsariana e apenas 8% em países desenvolvidos. A nível ocupacional poderá existir relação com a exposição a Aflotoxinas, Pesticidas, Hidrocarbonetos Aromáticos Policíclicos, Cloreto de Vinilo e alguns vírus. Discussão e Conclusões: Existe alguma evidência de que o Cancro do Fígado pode estar associado ao contato com alguns agentes químicos e biológicos, contudo ainda não é possível estabelecer, de forma irrefutável, a sua relação com os ambientes laborais. As estatísticas evidenciadas neste estudo não revelam dados de Portugal, pelo que seria interessante conhecer melhor a realidade nacional e averiguar a existência de relações eventuais entre os casos de doença oncológica hepática e os seus locais de trabalho.
Introduction/framework/objectives: Some studies alert to the possibility that the incidence of Liver Cancer is increased in workers of some professional sectors. This information is, however, still very scarce, and may not be available for occupational health teams to be able to take measures in higher risk workplaces or study the incidence of this phenomenon. Thus, the objective of this work was to summarize the most relevant data about occupational risk factors for liver cancer. 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: Liver Cancer is the fifth or sixth most common worldwide and the second most deadly, with around 750,000 cases/year. 80% of cases occur in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa and only 8% occur in developed countries. At an occupational level, there may be a relationship with exposure to Aflotoxins, Pesticides, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, Vinyl Chloride and some viruses. Discussion and Conclusions: There is some evidence that liver cancer may be associated with contact with some chemical and biological agents, however it is still not possible to irrefutably establish their relationship with work environments. The statistics shown in this study do not reveal data from Portugal, so it would be interesting to get to know the national reality better and to find out the existence of relationships between cases of liver oncological disease and their workplaces.
