The aim of this study was to investigate the role of occupational and nonoccupational ultraviolet (UV)-exposure concerning the development of basal cell carcinoma (BCC).
We undertook a population-based multicenter case-control study. Patients with first incident BCC (n = 836) were propensity score matched by age and sex to controls without skin cancer (n = 836). Sociodemographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, and lifetime UV-exposure were assessed by trained investigators. The differential estimation of occupational and nonoccupational UV-exposure dosages was based on validated instruments and established reference values. Associations were assessed using multivariable-adjusted conditional logistic regression models.
Individuals with high levels of occupational UV-exposure were at significantly increased BCC-risk compared with individuals with low [odds ratio (OR) 1.84; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.19 to 2.83 and moderate (OR 1.97; 95% CI 1.20 to 3.22) occupational UV-exposure. Nonoccupational UV-exposure was not independently associated with BCC.
Skin cancer prevention strategies should be expanded to the occupational setting.
本研究旨在探讨职业和非职业紫外线(UV)暴露在基底细胞癌(BCC)发生中的作用。
我们进行了一项基于人群的多中心病例对照研究。将首次发生 BCC(n=836)的患者按年龄和性别与无皮肤癌(n=836)的对照者进行倾向评分匹配。通过受过培训的调查员评估社会人口统计学特征、临床特征和终生 UV 暴露情况。基于经过验证的仪器和既定参考值,对职业和非职业 UV 暴露剂量进行差异估计。使用多变量调整的条件逻辑回归模型评估关联。
与低水平职业 UV 暴露者相比,高水平职业 UV 暴露者患 BCC 的风险显著增加(比值比 1.84;95%置信区间 95%CI 1.19 至 2.83 和中度职业 UV 暴露者 1.97;95%CI 1.20 至 3.22)。非职业性 UV 暴露与 BCC 无独立关联。
应将皮肤癌预防策略扩展到职业环境。
