Introdução/enquadramento/objetivos Por vezes algumas patologias oncológicas podem estar associadas a determinadas condições laborais; em relação ao Cancro do Ovário as publicações são escassas. Foi objetivo desta revisão resumir o que de mais relevante surgiu em relação a este tema. Metodologia Trata-se de uma Revisão Bibliográfica, iniciada através de uma pesquisa realizada em maio de 2023 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 do Ovário é o 6º ou 8º mais comum no sexo feminino mundialmente e o quinto mais frequente na Europa e nos EUA, ou seja, é responsável por cerca de 4% da patologia oncológica feminina. De todos os cancros ginecológicos é o que apresenta maior mortalidade. Discussão e Conclusões Ainda que alguns defendam que não se provaram existir associações entre algumas caraterísticas laborais e esta patologia oncológica; outros destacam os asbestos, pó de talco, tricloroetileno, sílica e a radiação ionizante, bem como o trabalho por turnos. Contudo, as relações são complexas. Seria desejável que o tema fosse mais investigado e os dados divulgados, de forma ao conhecimento científico progredir e os locais de trabalho passarem a ser um pouco mais seguros.
Introduction/framework/objectives Sometimes some oncological pathologies may be associated with certain working conditions; in relation to Ovarian Cancer, publications are scarce. The aim of this review was to summarize what was most relevant in relation to 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”. 2/5 Content Ovarian Cancer is the 6th or 8th most common in females worldwide and the fifth most frequent in Europe and USA, that is, it is responsible for about 4% of female oncological pathology. Of all gynecological cancers, it has the highest mortality. Discussion and Conclusions Although some defend that there have been no proven associations between some work characteristics and this pathology; others highlight asbestos, talcum powder, trichlorethylene, silica and ionizing radiation, as well as shift work. However, the relationships are complex. It would be desirable for the topic to be further investigated and the data disseminated, so that scientific knowledge progresses and workplaces become a little safer.
