9/11 WTC Health Program Now Covers Over 50 Types of Cancer
Although many died due to illness directly related to inhalation of dust and debris in the weeks following 9/11, government health care up til now had refused to recognize several cancers as valid diseases caused by the toxic dust distributed via the demolitions of World Trade Centers 1 and 2.
Yesterday, however, the World Trade Center Health Program added 58 types of cancers to the list of cost-approved diseases.
Whereas before the program only covered less serious diseases like asthma, acid reflux disease, chronic cough lung, post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, cancer was not included because there was supposedly little scientific evidence suggesting the epidemic surge in cancer rates were attributed to WTC dust.
Today, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) announced the WTC Health Program would begin covering the cost of treatment for victims that incurred malignant neoplasms (tumors) of the stomach, larynx, esophagus, colon, breast, nose, ovary, kidney, urinary bladder, thyroid, skin (including scrotal cancer) blood and childhood cancers to name a few.
