A dramatic surge in cancer cases among survivors of the September 11 attacks has outpaced the rise seen in first responders, according to new data released ahead of the 25th anniversary of the tragedy. The toxic exposure faced by those who lived and worked near the disaster site has led to a near 1,700% increase in certain cancers, raising urgent health concerns. Experts warn that the long-term health effects continue to worsen decades after the event, with survivors now facing higher cancer risks than those who directly responded to the crisis. The findings underscore the lingering medical crisis for a population still grappling with the aftermath of the attacks.
