Yes, stewardesses have been shown to have increased rates of breast cancer. This is probably true of anyone that spends a lot of time at high altitudes. Spending hours in the air gives radiation exposure equivalent to getting some x-rays.

Delta was also giving their employees uniforms treated with formaldehyde in the last few years. Apparently this is a practice done with some uniforms to keep them looking new. That was also causing health issues.
