Cancer odds among Ohio firefighters: data from the Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS) 1996-2019.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of the current case-control study was to examine the odds of cancer among firefighters in the state of Ohio and compare the odds of being a firefighter versus police or the general population across different cancer types.

Methods

Cancer cases were examined from the Ohio Cancer Incidence Surveillance System (OCISS) between 1996 and 2019. Occupation status was classified as firefighter, police or general population. Logistic regression models were run to calculate ORs to determine the odds of being a firefighter compared with police or the general population across different cancer types. Models were adjusted for gender, race, age at cancer diagnosis and year of cancer diagnosis.

Results

Among the 906 164 cancer cases, 3397 were firefighters an
