Abstract
Abstract:
Cancer is a disease resulting from genetic alterations occurring in cells of multiple organs in
the human body. Several agents are responsible for different types of cancer, including chemical
carcinogens that occur while the exposition to pesticides. In this study, we used the meta-analysis
method. Our findings demonstrate that have succeeded in studying and demonstrating the
relationship between the use of pesticides and the development of cancer. To do this, we used
RevMan 5.3 software. The statistic results of our study indicate a real association between exposure
to pesticides and childhood cancer (RR = 6.55; CI = [6.39-6.71]; p <0.00001), breast cancer (RR =
1.10; CI = [1.08-1.13]; p <0.00001), prostate (RR = 0.78; CI = [0.75-0.82]; p <0, 00001) and
pancreas carcinomas (RR = 1.11; CI = [1.07-1.16]; p <0.00001). In addition, a real and significant
association exists between exposure to pesticides and the appearance of brain cancer (RR = 0.97; CI
= [0.96-0.99]; p <0.00001), melanoma (RR = 0.92; CI = [0.88-0.97]; p <0.003), colon (RR = 1.70;
CI = [1.47-1.96]; p <0, 00001), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (RR = 0.87; CI = [0.84-0.89]; p <0.00001),
and various other types of cancer. This is not the case for bladder cancer for which no significant
correlation with the use of pesticides was found (P = 0.15).
