Amy Colton, National Sales Manager for OneTest, believes early screenings saved her own life, and said, "Firefighters are at a 72% higher chance of dying from cancer than they are from dying in a fire. It seems kind of crazy that they're not regularly screening for cancer in a meaningful manner." -

Greetings to our firefighters, families and friends! Welcome to FFVC's new blog, Smoke Eaters, Cancer Beaters. I'm Suzette Martinez Standring, Chief Correspondent, which is a fancy term for She-Who-Shares-Your-Stories. Early cancer testing for firefighters is our goal because of the documented higher risk of occupational cancer.
