In 2010, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) researchers, with funding assistance from the U.S. Fire Administration, launched a multi-year study to examine whether fire fighters have a higher risk of cancer and other causes of death due to job exposures. Dr. Robert D. Daniels Ph.D, and his team conducted a study designed to address limitations of previous fire fighter cancer research and shared the results in an interview with MedicalResearch.com.
