Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated associations between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), phenols, and parabens and self-reported previous cancer diagnoses in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Higher PFAS and phenol/paraben levels were associated with increased odds of previous melanoma in women and ovarian cancer. Associations varied by race, highlighting existing racial disparities in exposure and cancer risk.
