Risk of Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma) in the Printing Industry
Updated: March 9, 2024
Cholangiocarcinoma is a form of malignant cancer that occurs in one of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. It is literally translated as "bile duct cancer".
Why Discuss Bile Duct Cancer (Cholangiocarcinoma)?
Recently, we discovered that most patients suffering from bile duct cancer are actually workers in printing companies!
The cancer appears to be caused by printing paints that contain toxic elements, specifically dichloromethane and cyclopropane.
If you work in a printing company, be aware that working excessive hours may increase your risk of cholangiocarcinoma.
A survey revealed that several workers at an offset printing company in Osaka, Japan, developed bile duct and liver cancer. Some researchers have suggested that organic solvents used as ink cleaning agents could be a possible cause. These solvents include dichloropropane and dichloromethane.
If you notice any changes in your health condition, especially if you work in a printing company, we recommend that you consult your physician for a primary examination and diagnosis.
Unfortunately, cancer caused by toxic chemicals cannot be treated with PYRO-ENERGEN therapy.
