This study sought to clarify cancer risk in fighter aviators.
US Air Force officers who served between 1970 and 2004 were followed through 2018 for incidence and mortality of 10 cancers: colon and rectum; pancreas; melanoma skin; prostate; testis; urinary bladder; kidney and renal pelvis; brain and other nervous system; thyroid; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Fighter aviators were compared with other officers and the general US population.
Compared with other officers, male fighter aviators had greater adjusted odds of developing testis, melanoma skin, and prostate cancers; mortality odds were similar for all cancers. When compared with the US population, male fighter aviators were more likely to develop and die from melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Military fighter aviation may be associated with slightly increased risk of certain cancers.
本研究旨在阐明战斗机飞行员的癌症风险。
对 1970 年至 2004 年期间服役的美国空军军官进行了随访，随访时间截至 2018 年，以了解 10 种癌症（结肠和直肠、胰腺、黑色素瘤皮肤、前列腺、睾丸、膀胱癌、肾脏和肾盂、脑和其他神经系统、甲状腺和非霍奇金淋巴瘤）的发病和死亡情况。将战斗机飞行员与其他军官和美国一般人群进行了比较。
与其他军官相比，男性战斗机飞行员发生睾丸癌、黑色素瘤皮肤癌和前列腺癌的调整后比值比更高；所有癌症的死亡率比值相似。与美国人口相比，男性战斗机飞行员更易患黑色素瘤皮肤癌、前列腺癌和非霍奇金淋巴瘤，并因此死亡。
军事战斗机飞行可能与某些癌症的风险略有增加有关。
