About this listen

Dana-Farber's Tim Rebbeck, PhD, discusses PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," and their link to cancer. Research shows that PFAS exposure is associated with kidney and testicular cancers due to DNA damage and immune system changes. While PFAS exposure often comes from drinking water, the best way to reduce overall cancer risk is by avoiding or quitting smoking, limiting processed foods and alcohol, and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle where possible.
