“Many women who served as first responders or survivors of the 9/11 attacks have been waiting for over a decade for uterine cancer to be added as a covered health condition,” wrote Pallone, D-6th Dist. “Survivors of the WTC attack battling uterine cancer should not be forced to wait any longer.”
Pallone said that the scientific/technical advisory committee of World Trade Center Health Program concluded that it was “highly implausible that uterine cancer would be the only cancer not related to WTC exposures.”Federal officials said they initially did not include uterine cancer because they didn’t have enough data linking the illness to exposure to chemicals after 9/11.
