9/11 Health

To All NYC Police World Trade Center Cancer Victims

March, 2011 -- Mt. Sinai is conducting a cancer study on law enforcement members who worked rescue, recovery or clean-up at any of the World Trade Center designated sites. The results of this study may lead to the inclusion of cancer as a recognized disease under the Zadroga. If you or anyone you know worked at any of the WTC designated sites, and have since developed any form of cancer, please contact the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association or Valerie Dabas. The study's doctors need to know about as many cancer cases as possible. Please contact Valerie Dabas at 212-298-9162 or e-mail her at vdabas@nycpba.org
