Researchers led by Dr. Vishal Patel reported in Washington, D. C. that pilots and flight attendants have the highest proportion of radiation-related cancer deaths among more than 500 U.

S. occupations, based on death-certificate data from 2020-2024. The study, co-authored by Catherine Olsen, Ken Karipidis and Sara Nelson, examined over 500 occupations and identified aviation crew as the highest-risk group. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA and the Federal Aviation Administration noted the findings and called for better radiation-exposure education for crew members.
