Breast cancer is among the many conditions that are officially recognized as linked to the toxic exposure. In fact, it is the third most common cancer diagnosis among those present in the aftermath of the attacks, with nearly 4,000 individuals certified with 9/11-related breast cancer by the World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP). These 9/11 breast cancer victims include first responders, cleanup workers, NYC residents, students, downtown civilian workers, and others who were present in Lower Manhattan or other 9/11 exposure zones at any time between 9/11 and May 30, 2002.
