Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos: O cancro da Bexiga é razoavelmente prevalente, sendo que, em alguns casos, poderá haver relação com as características do trabalho. Seria relevante que a generalidade dos profissionais tivesse alguns conhecimentos relativos ao que está publicado sobre este tema. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma 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: O Cancro da Bexiga é o mais frequente ou o segundo mais prevalente entre as neoplasias genito-urinárias e o segundo mais mortal nesse contexto. Considerando todas as patologias oncológicas, está estimado que é o 7º ou 9º mais prevalente. Em função da divisão por sexos, é duas a quatro vezes mais frequente no sexo masculino. Ele surge da interação entre fatores genéticos e ambientais, nomeadamente ocupacionais. Alguns investigadores defendem que, nos países desenvolvidos, a exposição ocupacional é a principal causa, seguida do tabagismo; contudo, a maioria dos estudos afirma o oposto. Os agentes químicos mais relevantes são as aminas aromáticas, hidrocarbonetos aromáticos policíclicos e os pesticidas; bem como produtos de combustão/emissões diesel e metais pesados. Discussão e Conclusões: Existem alguns fatores de risco com associação suspeita ou comprovada em relação à etiologia do Cancro da Bexiga. É importante a divulgação dos mesmos para que as equipas de saúde e segurança ocupacionais possam tomar medidas de proteção coletiva e individual para atenuar esse perigo. Seria também interessante que se realizasse mais investigação sobre o tema, acrescentando evidência ao que já está publicado e/ou dando a perspetiva do estado da arte em Portugal.
Introduction/framework/objectives: Bladder cancer is reasonably prevalent, and in some cases it may be related to work characteristics. It would be relevant for most professionals to have some knowledge of what is published on this topic. 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: Bladder Cancer is the most frequent or the second most prevalent among genito-urinary neoplasms and the second most deadly in that context. Considering all oncological pathologies, it is estimated that it is the 7th or 9th most prevalent. By sex, it is two to four times more frequent in males. It arises from the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, namely occupational. Some researchers argue that, in developed countries, occupational exposure is the main cause, followed by smoking; however, most studies claim the opposite. The most relevant chemical agents are aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides; as well as combustion products/diesel emissions and heavy metals. Discussion and Conclusions: There are some risk factors with suspected or proven association with the etiology of Bladder Cancer. It is important to disclose these, so that occupational health and safety teams can take collective and individual protection measures to mitigate this. It would also be interesting for these companies to carry out more research on the subject, adding evidence to what has already been published or providing an overview of the state of the art in Portugal.
