An important part of understanding and reducing work-related cancer is learning more about it. There are many unanswered questions about how cancer risk may vary across our nation’s diverse fire service. Signing up for the NFR for Cancer is one thing you can do to help researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) learn more about the relationship between firefighting and cancer.  This can ultimately help reduce cancer among firefighters for generations to come.
The NFR for Cancer is open to all U.S. firefighters *with or without cancer*, no matter your length of service.
