Leung, Lisa. "Occupational exposures and cancers in women". Electronic Thesis or Diss., université Paris-Saclay, 2023. http://www.theses.fr/2023UPASR014.
Texto completoBackground: Evidence from migrant studies suggests that environmental risk factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of breast, ovarian, and lung cancers, yet the etiology of these cancers remains poorly understood. Women account for a significant proportion of the labour force worldwide, yet research on occupational hazards of female workers is limited. Few studies have examined occupations common to women and occupational risks in relation to female cancers.Objectives: The specific objectives of the thesis were: 1) to study the association between occupation, occupational exposures and ovarian cancer, 2) to study the association between occupational exposures and breast cancer, and 3) to study the association between occupation, occupational exposures and lung cancer in women.Methods: Data from three population-based case-control studies on women in Canada and France that collected occupational history information was used to achieve the objectives: the PROVAQ study on ovarian cancer (491 cases, 897 controls), the CECILE study on breast cancer (1,206 cases, 1,294 controls), and the WELCA study on lung cancer (731 cases, 751 controls). In all three studies, an industrial hygienist coded the occupation of each participant's job. Job codes were linked to the Canadian job-exposure matrix, thereby generating exposure estimates for many agents. The relationship between exposure to each of the most prevalent agents and cancer risk was assessed, specifically 29 agents for ovarian cancer, 49 agents for breast cancer, and 41 agents for lung cancer. For ovarian and lung cancers, prevalent occupations were additionally examined by comparing participants employed in an occupation for <10 years and ≥10 years vs. never employed in the occupation. Associations with cancer risk for occupations and occupational exposures were estimated using logistic regression and adjusting for minimally sufficient confounder sets, identified using directed acyclic graphs.Results: Excess ovarian cancer risks were suggested for accountancy, sales, hairdressing, and sewing occupations, and for occupational exposure to agents linked to hairdressing-related occupations. Interpretations of results for single agents were limited due to multiple correlated exposures. For breast cancer, occupational exposure to agents, particularly textile fibre dusts, organic solvents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plastic dusts and pyrolysis fumes, were potentially associated with increased risks. Relative risks were suggested to differ among breast cancer subtypes and according to menopausal status for some agents. For lung cancer, elevated odds ratios were observed for teaching, professional, white-collar, sales, and service occupations, and for numerous occupational exposures, some of which were consistent with previous studies in women, such as cooking fumes, formaldehyde, organic solvents, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, metals, and paints/varnishes. Lung cancer risks for some agents were suggested to differ by smoking status.Conclusions: Certain occupations and occupational exposures may be associated with excess ovarian, breast, and lung cancer risks in women. As many odds ratios observed were imprecise, further population-based research on women is warranted to replicate findings. Studies with larger sample sizes and expert assessment information that can perform more advanced statistical methods accounting for multiple exposures may be useful in disentangling the effects of correlated agents in the estimation of cancer risk

Texto completoSocial sciences and public health research conducted mainly in North America, since the 1980s, have shown that homelessness has a significant impact on health, physical conditions and psychological health of families without housing. In France, quantitative studies on homeless women were scarce until the realization of the ENFAMS survey in Paris region in 2013.Based on data from this survey, we showed that, although younger than women in the general population, the health of homeless women is worse, especially with regards to their mental health and nutritional status. Despite their poor health, homeless women have less access to health care than women in the general population. Our research has highlighted the importance of gynecological follow-up in accessing women's cancer screening since the proportion of women who were screened for cervical cancer was twice as high among women with follow-up than among women without follow-up. We have also shown that in the French context of universal health coverage and numerous social safety nets, we do not find the classic associations between unmet health care needs and financial resources or health insurance status.Primary care professionals need to rely on windows of opportunity provided by each of their contact with health care services to make them benefit from cancer screening. Strategies to improve the access to health care of these women must not only aim to remove financial barriers

Texto completoCancer is a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries; it accounts for 13% of all deaths globally, of which 70% occur in middle- and low-income countries. In Nigeria, over 10 000 cancer deaths and 250 000 new cases of cancer are recorded yearly. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide, after lung cancer. It is the most common type of cancer diagnosed in women and the most common cause of death worldwide. Late detection and diagnosis of breast cancer leads to high mortality rate. In Nigeria certain cultural taboos are associated with breast cancer, which lead to poor information dissemination to women in rural communities. Breast self-examination (BSE) provides an inexpensive method for early detection of breast tumours. Knowledge and awareness about Breast Self-Examination are critical to promote consistent practices when the people concerned are empowered with the needed information to acquire the knowledge and skills which will inform practice of any health issue. In Nigeria it was reported that the number of women at risk of breast cancer increased progressively from 24.5 million in 1990 to about 40 million in 2010. This number is projected to rise to over 50 million by 2020, should the trend continue unabated. The current study explored the understandings of breast cancer and prevention, with particular emphasis on BSE practice among rural women, and developed an empowerment programme to promote uptake of this practice in a rural community in a south-western state of Nigeria. The study was framed in the Health Belief Model and Kieffer’s empowerment process. Participatory action research was used as study design and approach; and utilized both qualitative and qualitative methods. The sample for quantitative phase comprised 345 women aged 20 to 60 years, selected from 5 communities using a cross-sectional procedure. Data gathering instrument was a questionnaire. Summative statistics were calculated using the SPSS program. The sample for qualitative phase comprised of 95 women who were selected from the respondents to the quantitative phase. The data was collected through focus group discussion. The qualitative data was subjected to thematic analysis. Three themes that emerged for qualitative analysis which are: knowledge/awareness of BSE, practice and appeal for intervention, and misconception and fear. The survey results showed that a large proportion of the respondents (75.1% and 76.5%) had low levels of knowledge about BSE and did not practice BSE. Also, about 77% of the respondents expressed one form of barrier or another to BSE practice. However, despite these inadequacies, 87% of the respondents were ready and willing to improve their health if empowered with the right information and motivation. The empowerment program informed by the quantitative and qualitative phases and the stages of change with the full participation of the women. The program consisted of hands-on physical demonstrations, BSE pamphlets, and mnemonic songs were identified media of disseminating knowledge and practice of BSE. These media became the platforms for the empowerment programme developed for the women. A day was also set aside, just as is done for immunisation, for BSE practice and other women’s health issues to promote the prevention of breast cancer in the community. The “Physical demonstration” intervention resulted in an increase in the correct BSE practice from 23.5% at the beginning of the study, to 85.3% post the intervention. The “other intervention” resulted in 80% to 94.7% of participating women being able to practice correct physical step-by-step performance of BSE. The participatory approach contribute to a high levels of participation by women in Iddo local Government which led to the increase in the correct Breast Self–Examination as stated above.
