Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study
Epigenetics in the Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study
Established in July 2016 with funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Fire Fighter Cancer Cohort Study (FFCCS) provides a national framework to collect and integrate firefighter epidemiologic surveys, biomarkers and exposure data focused on carcinogenic exposures, health effects and prevention in partnership with the fire service. The long-term goal is to follow 10,000 firefighters from multiple fire departments across the country over a 30-year period.”
