          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: El adenocarcinoma nasosinusal (ADCNS) es una neoplasia infrecuente con una fuerte asociación a exposición ocupacional a polvo de madera que se encuentra recogida en el cuadro de enfermedades profesionales del RD 1299/2006. El propósito de este trabajo es conocer la incidencia, las características clínicas y su declaración como enfermedad profesional en la Comunidad de Cantabria. Material y Método: Estudio clínico-epidemiológico retrospectivo de los pacientes diagnosticados de ADCNS en la comunidad autónoma de Cantabria entre los años 1990-2014. Resultados: En el periodo de estudio se registraron 36 casos de ADCNS. Todos los casos fueron varones, con una mediana de edad de 69 años. La localización más frecuente fue el etmoides. Los síntomas principales que motivaron la consulta fueron la obstrucción nasal y epistaxis, con una mediana de tiempo hasta la primera consulta con el especialista de 6 meses. La supervivencia estimada a los 5 años fue del 52%; Intervalo de Confianza al 95% (IC): 36-68%. En 31 pacientes (86%) se objetivó historia laboral de ocupaciones relacionadas con la exposición a polvo de madera, siendo ebanistas y carpinteros las más frecuentes. Sin embargo, ningún caso se declaró como contingencia laboral, y en especial como enfermedad profesional tras la aprobación en 2006 de la normativa vigente. Conclusiones: Los síntomas clínicos como la obstrucción nasal o la epistaxis deben alertarnos en trabajadores que tengan el antecedente de haber trabajado con la madera. La mayoría de los adenocarcinomas son diagnosticados en estadios avanzados lo que empeora el pronóstico. Debe proporcionarse la formación y sensibilización adecuada sobre cáncer laboral en facultativos para una mejor notificación de la sospecha de un origen laboral.

          Abstract Objective: Nasosinusal adenocarcinoma (NSADC) is an infrequent neoplasm with a strong association to occupational exposure to wood dust that is listed in the RD 1299/ 2006 occupational disease list. The purpose of this work is to know the incidence, the clinical characteristics and its declaration as an occupational disease in the Autonomous Community of Cantabria of Spain. Material and Method: Retrospective clinical-epidemiological study of patients diagnosed with NSADC in the autonomous community of Cantabria between the years 1990-2014. Results: During the study period, 36 cases of ADCNS were recorded. All cases were male, with a median age of 69 years. The most frequent location was the ethmoid. The main symptoms that motivated the specialist visit were nasal obstruction and epistaxis, with a median time until the first specialist visit of 6 months. Estimated survival at 5 years was 52%; 95% confidence interval (IC): 36-68%. In 31 patients (86%) there was an occupational history of occupations related to exposure to wood dust, with cabinetmakers and carpenters being the most frequent. However, no case was declared as an occupational contingency, and especially not as an occupational disease after the approval in 2006 of the current regulations. Conclusions: Clinical symptoms such as nasal obstruction or epistaxis should alert us in workers who have a history of working with wood. Most adenocarcinomas are diagnosed in advanced stages which worsens the prognosis. Adequate training and awareness of occupational cancer should be provided to physicians for better reporting of suspected occupational origin.

            International comparisons of the incidence and mortality of sinonasal cancer.

            This paper reviews international patterns in sinonasal cancer incidence and mortality in light of changes in exposure to known risk factors. Sinonasal tumours are relatively rare, but they have the second highest occupational attributable fraction of all types of cancer, with a well-established link for workers exposed to wood dust. Data for a variety of countries, mainly in Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region, were obtained from publicly accessible sources and supplemented with information requested from selected cancer registries. Rates were directly age-standardised to the World Health Organization Standard Population. The average annual incidence of sinonasal cancer was typically between 5 and 10 per million in males and between 2 and 5 per million in females between 2004 and 2008. Denmark reported the highest rates, with incidence continuing to increase, in contrast to trends in other countries which either remained relatively stable, or were decreasing slightly. There were significant recent decreases in sinonasal cancer mortality rates within two-thirds of the included countries. Our observations are generally consistent with efforts to limit exposure to wood dust and other potentially causal substances in the workplace, as well as a reduction in the prevalence of smoking in many developed countries. Of concern is that occupational and behavioural risks related to sinonasal cancer are likely to increase among people in less developed countries into the future. However the incentive to intervene in these countries is limited by the lack of accurate and reliable cancer data. Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
