As of 2005, based on a NYT article, there were 52 cases of Thyroid Cancer. This cancer occurs at the rate of 3.0-15.0 per 100,000 in the general population. The 40,000 cohort of Ground Zero First Responders have Thyroid cancer at the rate of 125 per 100,000.

Myeloma occurs in the general population at a rate of 3.0-9.0 per 100,000. The average age is 71 with 99% of victims over the age of 65. The Ground Zero First Responder cohort of 40,000, as of March 1, 2011, per my phone conversation with John Feal of the Feal Good Foundation, has seen 134 deaths related to Myeloma. That's a rate of 335 per 100,000.

Some First Responders have succumbed to not 1, not 2, but 3 different and often rare cancers.

The following data was posted by me to the CDC/DHS web site per a Federal Register request by NIOSH for public information related to Ground Zero cancers. I have also emailed this data to over 500 Hematologists and Oncologists at both Mt. Sinai and Sloan Kettering in NYC. The data is absolutely conclusive. My work remains non-copyrighted. Please share it.

This information is also posted to the NIOSH/CDC web site at the following link although they scanned the file and it's very large at their link. It is listed there under my real name, Jeff Prager.
