Firefighting chemicals leave brain cancer-linked mutations, study shows
Firefighters show higher rates of glioma-linked SBS42 mutational signatures associated with haloalkane exposure, suggesting occupational risk. The study highlights a clear link between firefighting, chemical exposure,
Exposure to firefighting chemicals linked to increased brain tumor risk
New research by Yale has found an association between exposure to chemicals commonly used in firefighting and incidence of a brain tumor called a glioma in firefights, suggesting that the cancer may have an environmental cause.
Firefighters' brain tumors linked to flame retardant chemical
Firefighters might face a higher risk of brain cancers caused by exposure to chemicals in fire extinguishers, a new small-scale study says.
Firefighters may face increased risk of brain cancer due to chemical exposure: Study
Firefighters may face a heightened risk of developing brain cancer due to their persistent exposure to certain chemicals, a new study has found. In a set of patients who had gliomas — the most
Firefighters face a higher brain cancer risk associated with gene mutations caused by chemical exposure, study suggests
Gene mutations caused by exposure to certain chemical compounds have been linked to the development of gliomas, the most common type of malignant brain tumor. New research reveals that among patients with gliomas,
Genetic mutations linked to toxin exposure found in firefighters' brain tumors
In a study comparing the glioma tumors of firefighters and non-fighters, researchers found a mutational signature tied to exposure to haloalkanes, which are used in flame retardants, fire extinguishers,
