Lung Cancer Screening CT for Firefighters
Sponsor: University of California, San Francisco
Summary
Firefighters are at increased risk for cancer due to exposure to carcinogenic substances. Current lung cancer screening guidelines are predominantly based on smoking history and do not take into account high risk occupational exposures such as firefighting. This study aims to provide chest computed tomography (CT) scans to firefighters to determine the prevalence of lung cancer, other cancers detectable on CT chest, and lung diseases associated with increased cancer risk.
