Abstract

Objectives: Exposure to air pollution has destructive health consequences and a potential role in ovarian cancer etiology. We conducted a systematic review of the studies assessing the associations between ovarian malignancy and exposure to air pollutants.

Content: The included studies were categorized based on types of measured ambient air pollutants, including particulate matter (five studies), gases (two studies), air pollutant mixtures (eight studies), and traffic indicators for air pollution (only one study). Because of the heterogeneity of quantitative data of the reviewed studies, we qualitatively reviewed the air pollution role in ovarian cancer risk with representing incidence and/or the mortality rate of ovarian cancer in related with air pollution. Nine studies were ecological study design. Except for one, all studies confirmed a positive correlation between exposure to ambient air pollution (AAP) and increased ovarian cancer risks.

Summary: We concluded that prolonged air pollution exposure through possible mechanisms, estrogen-like effects, and genetic mutations might affect ovarian tumorigenesis. This research surveyed the limitations of the previous studies, including issues with ambient air pollution surveillance and assessing the exposure, determining the air pollution sources, data analysis approaches, and study designs.

Outlook: Finally, the authors provide suggestions for future environmental epidemiological inquiries on the impact of exposure to ambient air pollution on ovarian malignancy.

暴露于空气污染与卵巢癌风险:综述。
目的:暴露于空气污染对健康有破坏性影响,并在卵巢癌症病因中发挥潜在作用。我们对评估卵巢恶性肿瘤与暴露于空气污染物之间关系的研究进行了系统综述。内容:纳入的研究根据测量的环境空气污染物类型进行分类,包括颗粒物(五项研究)、气体(两项研究),空气污染物混合物(八项研究)和空气污染交通指标(仅一项研究)。由于所回顾研究的定量数据的异质性,我们定性地回顾了空气污染在卵巢癌症风险中的作用,以及与空气污染相关的卵巢癌症的发病率和/或死亡率。9项研究为生态学研究设计。除一项研究外,所有研究都证实了暴露于环境空气污染(AAP)与卵巢癌症风险增加之间的正相关性。总结:我们得出结论,通过可能的机制、雌激素样作用和基因突变,长期暴露在空气污染中可能会影响卵巢肿瘤的发生。这项研究调查了先前研究的局限性,包括环境空气污染监测和评估暴露、确定空气污染源、数据分析方法和研究设计方面的问题。展望:最后,作者就暴露于环境空气污染对卵巢恶性肿瘤的影响为未来的环境流行病学调查提供了建议。

期刊介绍: Reviews on Environmental Health (REVEH) is an international peer-reviewed journal that aims to fill the need for publication of review articles on hot topics in the field of environmental health. Reviews on Environmental Health aims to be an inspiring forum for scientists, environmentalists, physicians, engineers, and students who are concerned with aspects of human health, including quality of life, that are determined by physiological and psychosociological interactions between man and physical, chemical, biological, and social factors in the environment. Reviews on Environmental Health is an important niche served by no other journal, that’s being a site where thoughtful reviews can be published on a variety of subjects related to both health and environment. One challenge is to bridge the research on environmental causes of disease with the clinical practice of medicine. Reviews on Environmental Health is a source of integrated information on environment and health subjects that will be of value to the broad scientific community, whether students, junior and senior professionals, or clinicians.
