Scans for heroes: new study hunts hidden cancer in Firefighters' lungs
NCT ID NCT06836414
Summary
This study offers free, low-dose chest CT scans to 1,200 California firefighters to check for early signs of lung cancer and other work-related lung diseases. Firefighters face higher cancer risks from smoke and chemical exposure, but current screening rules often overlook this job hazard. The research aims to find out how common these diseases are in firefighters and to gather data to create better health screening guidelines for this high-risk profession.
