Increased risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma among upstream petroleum workers
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 11/06/09
Kirkeleit J et al. – The authors found a four–fold excess risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma among male workers assumed to have had the most extensive contact with different phases of crude oil. Due to the small number of cases, and a lack of detailed data on occupational exposure and lifestyle factors found to be associated with esophageal adenocarcinoma, the results must be interpreted with caution. Nevertheless, given the low risk of lifestyle–related cancers and causes of death in this working group, the results add to the observations in other low–powered studies on oesophageal cancer further suggesting that factors related to the petroleum stream or carcinogenic agents used in the production process might be associated with the risk of oesophageal adenocarcinoma.
