Increased leukemia incidence among 9/11 first responders and cleanup workers
A recent study published in the JNCI Cancer Spectrum examined the health records of over 28,000 individuals who were first responders or workers involved in the World Trade Center recovery efforts. This group, enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program, was found to have an increased risk of various cancers, including leukemia.
Leukemia is a cancer that affects the bone marrow, the spongy tissue inside bones. In most cases, leukemia involves the uncontrolled growth of white blood cells, but it can also affect other types of blood cells.
9/11 Victim Compensation Fund claims for leukemia
If you were a first responder or worked at Ground Zero after the 9/11 attacks and have since developed leukemia, you might be eligible for compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
The amount you could receive depends on several factors, including the severity of your illness and any other compensation you've gotten. While the maximum payout for 9/11-related leukemia could be around $250,000, the actual amount can vary greatly.
