Systematic review reveals increased cancer burden in firefighters, suggesting the need for further studies on cancer disparities.

Firefighters show a significantly elevated cancer burden, particularly for prostate and testicular cancers, indicating urgent health concerns.
Mesothelioma exhibited the strongest association, with standardized incidence ratios exceeding 2.0 across multiple studies.
The systematic review assessed 71 studies, illuminating specific cancer types linked to firefighting exposures, such as benzene and PAHs.
Findings call for ongoing surveillance and further exploration of occupational exposures impacting firefighter cancer risk and health disparities.

Xu et al. (2025) studied this question.
