Did you know firefighters face a 9% higher risk of cancer diagnosis—and a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer than the general public?

Behind every number is someone who risks their life to protect ours.

That's why the McMaster University Cochrane Canada and GRADE Centres are developing Canada's first evidence-based guidelines for cancer detection in firefighters.

We're just getting started—and there's so much more to come.
