Individuals in the sales, retail, clothing, and construction sectors may also be at risk. Prolonged exposure to agents such as talc and ammonia could be significant factors. Hairdressers, beauticians, and accountants might have an increased risk of ovarian cancer, according to a study published in
A recent study indicates that jobs such as hairdressing, beautician roles, and accountancy may have a heightened risk of ovarian cancer, possibly due to prolonged exposure to specific agents like talcum powder and ammonia. While the study utilized a comprehensive method to analyze lifetime employment histories and potential risk factors, further research is needed to confirm these findings and enhance the understanding of women’s occupational risks in relation to ovarian cancer.
And those that have, have often failed to account for potentially influential factors, previous employment history, or have included relatively few participants, so limiting the findings. Information was collected from all the participants on sociodemographic background, medical history, prescribed meds, reproductive history, weight and height, lifestyle factors, and lifetime employment history.
The Canadian job-exposure matrix was used to calculate participants’ exposure to specific agents in the workplace, and the relationship between exposure to each of the 29 most common agents and ovarian cancer risk was then assessed. Heightened risks of more than 40% were observed for high cumulative exposure —compared with none—to 18 different agents. These included talcum powder; ammonia; hydrogen peroxide; hair dust; synthetic fibres; polyester fibres; organic dyes and pigments; cellulose; formaldehyde; propellant gases; naturally occurring chemicals in petrol and bleaches.
