Researchers at the University of California, Davis have been awarded millions in state funding to study cancer risks among firefighters, examining not only exposures on the job but also factors that may be overlooked.
"We are looking at biomarkers to measure and quantify what are the impacts of these different exposures on pathways that we know cause cancer," Hussain said.
"Things that you may not consider occupational relate to the fact that they work these 24- to 48-hour shifts," Hussain said. "That impacts sleep, that impacts diet, that impacts stress — factors we know are related to cancer risk."
According to the International Association of Firefighters, in 2025, nearly 80% of member deaths were cancer-related.
