Do firefighters have an increased risk of glioma?
Researchers have demonstrated a link between a distinct glioma mutational signature and occupational exposure to haloalkanes.
In a collaborative study, led by Elizabeth Claus from Yale School of Public Health (CT, USA), researchers demonstrated a link between exposure to chemicals used in firefighting and glioma risk. Being aware of this link could help with identifying occupational risks associated with gliomas and developing measures to prevent them.
