Which types of 9/11 cancer are the most prevalent?
In addition to the first responders and the workers and volunteers who worked on the cleanup of Ground Zero following September 11th, thousands of people who lived, worked and went to school in below Canal Street have developed cancer that may have been caused or exacerbated by the toxic dust and environment in lower Manhattan. If you have been diagnosed and you were in the exposure zone following 9/11, you may be entitled to compensation for your illness.
