Uterine Cancer - Including Endometrial Cancer - Now Recognized by 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund: What You Need to Know

The World Trade Center Health Program (WTCHP) has recently added uterine cancer including endometrial cancer to the list of certified 9/11-related health conditions eligible for coverage under the Victim Compensation Fund (VCF). This development is crucial for countless individuals who were exposed to harmful toxins in the aftermath of the tragic 9/11 attacks.

Understanding the VCF and Its Coverage

The VCF was established to provide compensation and health care benefits for people who developed health conditions related to the 9/11 attacks. It covers a range of illnesses, including almost every cancer, even ones you would not ordinarily think were related to 9/11 exposures. Now, with the recent inclusion of uterine cancer, the fund is poised to extend its aid to even more deserving recipients.

Why the Addition of Uterine Cancer is Significant

It has long been understood that the toxic dust and debris from the 9/11 attacks could lead to numerous health issues, including a host of different cancers. The addition of uterine cancer to the list of eligible conditions signifies the WTCHP's continued commitment to acknowledging the diverse health impacts of 9/11.

It is a vital update, especially for the women who worked, lived, or attended school in Lower Manhattan between September 11, 2001, and May 30, 2002, and were subsequently diagnosed with uterine cancer.
