[Malignant Skin Neoplasms in Workers in the Fishing Industry: Systematic Review].

Objective: To review the scientific literature related to the effects of occupational exposure to risk factors for skin neoplasms in fishery workers.

Method: Critical analysis of the papers recovered through systematic review from en MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science y Literatura Latinoamericana y del Caribe en Ciencias de la Salud (LILACS). STOROBE guidelines were followed to evaluate their quality.

Results: After attributing inclusion and exclusion criteria to the search, 11 articles were accepted for review and critical analysis. In 7 of them, a statistically significant association was obtained between skin neoplasia and occupational exposure in fishermen.

Conclusions: Despite having found studies that were significant in terms of the relationship of malignant lesions and exposure to ultraviolet radiation in the workplace, some of them did not control possible biases, therefore the results should be taken with caution.
