Firefighters face extraordinary risks in the line of duty — including a 62% increased risk of developing esophageal cancer. That’s why it’s so encouraging to see departments like Southern Jackson County Fire District taking proactive action to prioritize early detection and prevention. In just minutes, firefighters underwent a non-endoscopic screening to help identify esophageal precancer before cancer develops — because when this disease is found early, outcomes can change dramatically.
