The 9/11 community has an increased risk of developing cancer, even 25 years later. Advancements in early cancer detection are offering new hope for those who were exposed to the toxic 9/11 dust, making it possible to identify cancers sooner, improve treatment outcomes, and expand access to critical health care and compensation benefits. With most 9/11-related cancers taking a long time to develop, cancer detection has become one of the most important tools for protecting long-term health.
