CDC Prepares To Investigate Cancer Clusters Linked To Environment

About 1,000 suspected cancer clusters are reported to state health departments each year.

According to Business Insider, there are geographic locations where the cancer rate is higher than average.

Nevertheless, cancer clusters are hard to prove.

Surprisingly, a low number of reports actually confirm an environmental influence.

The Center of Disease Control and Prevention plans on updating its cancer cluster investigation by 2021.

Substantial research suggests that certain jobs like firefighting and rubber manufacturing come with more health risks.
