Abstract:

Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors represent more than half of childhood malignancies that affect children. The objective was to analyze the risk of exposure to pesticides related to the development of CNS tumors in children. A systematic review of the literature was carried out in PubMed/MEDILINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and CINAHL databases. Cohort and case-control studies on the development of CNS tumors (all histological types of group III Childhood Cancer Classification) resulting from exposure to pesticides in children aged 0-14 years were included. In the meta-analysis, the random effect model and the Mantel-Haenszel statistical method were used. The Odds Ratio (OR) was the measure of association applied. The review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under number CRD42021209354. The search identified 1158 studies, of which 14 made up the review. There was evidence of an association between the development of astrocytomas and exposure to all classes of pesticides (OR 1.50; 95% CI 1.15-1.96; p= 0.03). The synthesis of results pointed to a relationship between exposure to pesticides and the outcome of some histological types of CNS tumors in childhood.
