Immune system cancer found in young 9/11 officers

08-10-2009 • AP

Researchers say a small number of young law enforcement officers who participated in the World Trade Center rescue and cleanup operation after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks have developed an immune system cancer.

The numbers are tiny, and experts don't know whether there is any link between the illnesses and toxins released during the disaster.

But doctors who coordinated the study said people who worked at the site should continue to have their health monitored.

They aren't sure yet? Is that like another sequel to "Sicko" in the works? They will all be proved to have eaten at the same Taco stand run by illegal immigrants, and denied medical benefits :)
