Firefighter job risks and cancer study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how a firefighter's job might affect their health, especially cancer risks. It involves giving a small sample (like blood or urine) so researchers can learn more.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You currently or previously worked as a firefighter (full-time or part-time).
- You are taking part in Vincere's First Responder Cancer Screening Program.
- You are willing to give a blood, urine, or tissue sample.
- You can understand and agree to the study after it's explained to you.

This study tests an early-detection cancer screening approach using blood and urine samples in firefighters. If it works well, it could help find certain cancers earlier than usual.
This study is testing a new way to screen firefighters for cancer early, using special scans and blood tests. It aims to find cancer sooner so treatment can start earlier.
This study tests a workplace diet program designed for UK firefighters. It aims to see if the program can improve your health and well-being while on the job.
This study collects blood (and other biospecimens) to look for immune and molecular markers that may help explain cancer risk or response to treatment. If you’re an adult whose provider thinks you could develop cancer, or who has confirmed/suspected cancer, you may be asked for samples and consent to help researchers.
This study looks at how well firefighters can check their own hydration using urine color. You may help by providing urine and blood samples over a few days.
This observational study looks at how common environmental chemicals may build up in firefighters, measured with urine samples before and after exposure. It may help researchers understand potential health risks in this job—even though you won’t receive study medicine.
