Abstract

The events of September 11, 2001 (9/11) exposed nearly a half million persons to many carcinogenic chemicals and dusts, as well as psychological and physical stressors. Subsequent epidemiologic studies of 9/11-exposed persons have suggested elevated risks for some cancers, e.g., prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, and melanoma. To detect cancer at an early stage, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening certain asymptomatic persons for lung, colorectal, cervical and breast cancer, but not for other cancers. High quality cancer diagnosis and treatment guidelines are available from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network and the National Cancer Institute. For enrolled members, the WTC Health Program provides coverage for cancer screening and diagnosis, and covers medically necessary treatment costs for all types of cancer, assuming 9/11-exposure and minimum latency requirements are met, and a Program-affiliated physician attests that 9/11 exposures were substantially likely to have been a significant factor in aggravating, contributing to, or causing the enrolled WTC member's cancer.
