Using data from the Multiethnic Cohort Study, Jongeun Rhee, Vicky Chang, Mark Purdue, and Jonathan Hofmann in the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch led the first study to explore the relationship between PFAS and kidney cancer in different racial and ethnic groups.| dceg.cancer.gov
Jonathan Hofmann and collaborators find that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is associated with increased risk of kidney cancer in cohort with PFAS concentrations comparable to those found in the general population.| dceg.cancer.gov
DCEG investigators have developed a portfolio of research aimed at identifying cancer-types associated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These studies are innovative for their direct assessment of exposure using banked serum specimens as well as their evaluation of risks at varying exposure levels, from occupational exposure to those found in the general population or among military personnel.| dceg.cancer.gov
