Scoping Review on Housing, Energy Insecurity, and Cancer Risk, 2010-2025

A scoping review document synthesizing evidence on the links between housing and energy insecurity and cancer outcomes. The review, authored by Yasmin Husen and published on figshare in 2026, analyzed peer-reviewed and gray literature published between 2010 and 2025. It highlights associations between indoor environmental carcinogens like radon and combustion pollutants and cancer incidence, diagnosis, and survival.
