Abstract
BACKGROUND: Occupational risk factors are associated with many types of neoplasms including cervical cancer. OBJECTIVE: To review the specialized literature for evidence on the relationship between cervical cancer and exposure to occupational hazards. METHODS: Literature search in electronic databases using keywords cervical cancer and occupational risk. RESULTS: Workers occupationally exposed to tobacco, fungi or bacteria, metalworking fluids and tetrachloroethylene used in dry cleaning and for metal degreasing exhibited higher susceptibility to cervical cancer. CONCLUSION: Few studies sought to investigate relationships between cervical cancer and occupational hazards, which hinders the attempts at establishing a causal link.
