Firefighter Cancer Initiative vs SEAFC Usage & Stats

The Firefighter Cancer Initiative is an effort led by Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The goal of the initiative is to determine whether firefighters' work environment increases their risk for cancer. The primary goals of FCI are to better document and understand the excess burden of cancer among Florida firefighters and identify novel, evidence-based methods for reducing risk. The initiative, led by a multidisciplinary team of scientists, healthcare practitioners, and occupational health and safety experts, uses community-engaged approaches to ensure that firefighters’ voices and occupational experiences are reflected throughout all aspects of program planning and implementation.
