Summary: The incidence of cancer has increased among World Trade Center rescue and recovery workers. The study found that the risk of cancer is associated with the length and intensity of exposure to the World Trade Center.

Summary: The study examined the association between exposure to toxic materials during the September 2001 World Trade Center attacks and increased cardiovascular disease risk among over 90,000 rescue and recovery responders. The results showed a significantly higher incidence and risk of cardiovascular disease in responders exposed to WTC-related toxic materials.

Combining Three Cohorts of World Trade Center Rescue/Recovery Workers for Assessing Cancer Incidence and Mortality

Summary: This study examines the associations between WTC exposures and cancer in three cohorts funded by the World Trade Center Health Program, finding that pooling these cohorts can increase sample size and match more cancer cases, providing a more comprehensive resource for future research.

Cancer survival among World Trade Center rescue and recovery workers: A collaborative cohort study

David G. Goldfarb et al.

Summary: The study found that World Trade Center-exposed responders who received medical monitoring and treatment had lower cancer-specific and all-cause mortality rates compared to non-responders from New York State. This suggests potential survival benefits from no-cost medical care, but other factors such as occupational and socioeconomic status may have also contributed to the observed advantage in survival rates.

Impact of healthcare services on thyroid cancer incidence among World Trade Center-exposed rescue and recovery workers

David G. Goldfarb et al.

Summary: This study compared the incidence of thyroid cancer among different groups of World Trade Center-exposed rescue/recovery workers and found that participants in a monitoring and treatment program had a higher risk of thyroid cancer compared to the general population, while those not enrolled in the program had a risk similar to the general population. No significant changes in risk were observed over the follow-up period.

Cancer incidence in World Trade Center-exposed and non-exposed male firefighters, as compared with the US adult male population: 2001-2016

Mayris P. Webber et al.

Summary: The study compared cancer incidence in FDNY firefighters who worked at the World Trade Center site with non-WTC-exposed firefighters from the CFHS cohort, finding higher cancer rates among FDNY firefighters, especially in prostate and thyroid cancer. Both firefighter cohorts had elevated rates for prostate cancer and melanoma compared to demographically similar US males. Control for surveillance bias in FDNY reduced most differences, suggesting the excess cancers may be partially explained by enhanced surveillance. Long-term follow-up and modeling studies are needed for a clearer understanding of WTC-related risk among firefighters.

Temporal association of prostate cancer incidence with World Trade Center rescue/recovery work

David G. Goldfarb et al.

Summary: The risk of prostate cancer significantly increased among WTC rescue/recovery workers starting in 2007, compared with the general male population in New York State. Unique exposures at the disaster site may have contributed to this effect, along with screening practices like routine prostate specific antigen screening.

Health Trends among 9/11 Responders from 2011-2021: A Review of World Trade Center Health Program Statistics

Erin Smith et al.

Summary: By analyzing statistics from the CDC on the WTCHP, it was found that a significant portion of 9/11 responders with certified health issues were males aged 45-64, with common conditions including aerodigestive disorders, cancer, and mental health problems. Leukemia has become one of the top certified conditions as the 20-year anniversary of the attacks approaches, with higher rates of various cancers among responders compared to the general population. The increase in certain illnesses among responders may be influenced by heightened surveillance rather than an actual rise in disease.
