摘要
El carcinoma broncopulmonar es la primera causa de muerte por c芍ncer en varones, siendo su principal causa el consumo de tabaco; no obstante, diversos estudios han atribuido un tanto por ciento no despreciable de su etiolog赤a a la exposici車n laboral a agentes considerados cancer赤genos como el asbesto, con el que tiene relaci車n la mitad de los casos de c芍ncer pulmonar de origen laboral. Dada la baja supervivencia de esta patolog赤a, son de suma importancia las medidas de prevenci車n encaminadas a identificar los agentes cancer赤genos y a la disminuci車n de su exposici車n. Puesto que la presentaci車n cl赤nica no difiere del carcinoma relacionado con el tabaco, un alto grado de sospecha, basado en una cuidadosa historia laboral, es fundamental para su diagn車stico. Debido el efecto sin谷rgico del tabaco, medidas destinadas a disminuir su consumo, contin迆an siendo de suma importancia en la poblaci車n expuesta. Bronchopulmonary carcinoma is the first cause of death by cancer in males, its principal cause being tobacco consumption. Nonetheless, different studies have attributed a certain, by no means negligible percent of its aetiology to the occupational exposure to agents considered carcinogenic such as asbestos, with which half of the cases of occupational lung cancer are related. Given the low survival rate of this pathology, preventive measures directed at identifying carcinogenic agents and reducing exposure to them are extremely important. Given that the clinical presentation does not differ from tobacco-related carcinoma, a high level of suspicion, based on a meticulous occupational history, is fundamental to its diagnosis. Due to the synergic effect of tobacco, measures aimed at reducing its consumption continue to be extremely important in the exposed population.
