Female 9/11 victims face a higher risk for uterine cancer
More than 26K members registered with the WTC Health Program are female. Because uterine (endometrial) cancer is finally added to the registry, sufferers of this type of cancer can now receive financial compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund.
Uterine cancer is the 6th leading cause of death among women under 50 years of age. It is also the most frequent gynecological cancer in the U.S. The American Cancer Society reported an increase in new cases from 66,200 in 2023 to 67,880 in 2024. The report added that uterine cancer was the cause of death of 13,030 women in 2023.
9/11 Victim Compensation Fund claims for uterine cancer
Uterine cancer is linked to 9/11 and was added to the list of 9/11-related conditions only in 2023. If you were in the 9/11 Exposure Zone during or after the attacks and were diagnosed with uterine cancer, you might be eligible for monetary compensation from the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. The VCF typically pays out up to $250,000 for malignant conditions. Depending on how serious your condition is, our attorneys can assist you in navigating the process and maximizing your compensation.
