Most studies of firefighter cancer risks were conducted prior to 1990 and do not reflect risk from advances in building materials.
A case-control study using California Cancer Registry data (1988-2007) was conducted to evaluate the risk of cancer among firefighters, stratified by race.
This study identified 3,996 male firefighters with cancer. Firefighters were found to have a significantly elevated risk for melanoma (odds ratio [OR] = 1.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.4-2.1), multiple myeloma (OR 1.4; 95%CI 1.0-1.8), acute myeloid leukemia (OR 1.4; 95%CI 1.0-2.0), and cancers of the esophagus (OR 1.6; 95%CI 1.2-2.1), prostate (OR 1.5; 95%CI 1.3-1.7), brain (OR 1.5; 95%CI 1.2-2.0), and kidney (OR 1.3; 95%CI 1.0-1.6).
In addition to observing cancer findings consistent with previous research, this study generated novel findings for firefighters with race/ethnicity other than white. It provides additional evidence to support the association between firefighting and several specific cancers.
大多数关于消防员癌症风险的研究是在1990年之前进行的,并未反映建筑材料进步带来的风险。
利用加利福尼亚癌症登记处数据(1988 - 2007年)进行了一项病例对照研究,以评估消防员患癌症的风险,并按种族进行分层。
本研究确定了3996名患癌症的男性消防员。发现消防员患黑色素瘤(优势比[OR]=1.8;95%置信区间[CI]1.4 - 2.1)、多发性骨髓瘤(OR 1.4;95%CI 1.0 - 1.8)、急性髓细胞白血病(OR 1.4;95%CI 1.0 - 2.0)以及食管癌(OR 1.6;95%CI 1.2 - 2.1)、前列腺癌(OR 1.5;95%CI 1.3 - 1.7)、脑癌(OR 1.5;95%CI 1.2 - 2.0)和肾癌(OR 1.3;95%CI 1.0 - 1.6)的风险显著升高。
除了观察到与先前研究一致的癌症发现外,本研究还为非白人种族/族裔的消防员得出了新的发现。它提供了更多证据来支持消防员职业与几种特定癌症之间的关联。
