Description:

Objective

To report on cases of head and neck cancer (HNC) among World Trade Center (WTC) responders participating in the WTC Health Program and seen at Rutgers WTC Center of Clinical Excellence.

Methods

Medical records were abstracted by two clinical reviewers and discrepancies resolved. Cases were defined as WTC responders diagnosed with HNC between 9/12/2005 and 12/31/2016.

Results

Sixteen HNC patients met the case definition, most (13) arrived at the WTC location on 9/11 or within the following 2 days and half worked in law enforcement during the 9/1 response.

Conclusions

An association between HNC and WTC exposure is biologically plausible and should be further investigated. Research to enumerate the risk factor profile for these cancers may contribute to understanding mechanisms by which WTC exposure can contribute to carcinogenesis and to prevention and early detection strategies.
