Diesel exhaust (DE) is recognized as a carcinogen for the lungs, although evidence linking it to adult brain tumors is limited. We aimed to systematically review the evidence regarding the association between occupational DE exposure and adult brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors. A systematic literature review was conducted to identify cohort studies on occupational DE exposure and the risk of adult cancers other than lung cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to systematically review and analyze the link between occupational exposure to diesel exhaust and gastrointestinal cancers, focusing on several types including oesophageal, gastric, colon, and rectal cancers.
  • - The findings showed a slight increase in risk for oesophageal (RR=1.08), gastric (RR=1.06), and rectal cancer (RR=1.04) among exposed workers, particularly for drivers and machine operators, although these associations were not statistically significant.
  • - The research indicated possible regional differences, with European studies showing a clear link to gastric cancer, while North American studies did not, and it emphasized that residual confounding could impact the interpretation of these risks.

Background: This study aimed to explore the association between occupational exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) and gynaecological and breast cancers.

Methods: A systematic review was performed to identify cohort studies reporting results on the association between occupational exposure to DE and risk of gynaecological and breast cancers. STROBE guidelines and PECOS criteria were followed.

Background: Our objective was to study the association between occupational exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) and skin cancer.

Methods: A systematic review following STROBE guidelines and PECOS criteria was conducted to identify cohort studies describing the association between occupational DE exposure and the risk of skin cancer. We extracted 12 independent risk estimates for melanoma skin cancer (MSC), 8 for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), and 3 for skin cancer not otherwise specified (SC-NOS).

Exposure to diesel exhaust (DE) and other fossil fuels in the workplace can cause several health effects including cancer. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies examining the association between occupational DE exposure and the risk of head and neck cancer (HNC), including cancer of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. We included cohort studies mentioned in the Monograph of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2014, on DE.
