A study of more than 5,000 U.S. flight attendants has shown they have higher rates of certain cancers than the general public. Data showed a higher prevalence of breast, uterine, thyroid, gastrointestinal and cervical cancers among cabin crew members.
For the first time, researchers also showed cabin crew members have higher rates of non-melanoma skin cancer. Their results were published Monday in the journal Environmental Health.
