Previous studies have been small, mostly investigated cancer mortality, and suggested increased risks for brain, bladder, testicular, prostate, thyroid and colo\u2010rectal cancers, leukemia, and melanoma.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Records of all male cancers registered in California during 1988\u20132003 were obtained.

Firefighting was associated with testicular cancer (odds ratio\u2009=\u20091.54, 95% confidence interval: 1.18\u20132.02), melanoma (1.50, 1.33\u20131.70), brain cancer (1.35, 1.06\u20131.72), esophageal cancer (1.48, 1.14\u20131.91), and prostate cancer (1.22, 1.12\u20131.33).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Use of other\u2010cancer controls and lack of an occupational history may have biased relative risks towards the null.
