Another worked as a commodities broker in the World Trade Center area until 2007. He was preparing to compete in an Iron Man race when he noticed a lump on his chest. He went in for testing soon after and learned he had breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Some studies have concluded that those exposed to the World Trade Center site, including firefighters and recovery workers, &#8220;will experience a greater cancer burden than would be expected from a demographically similar population,&#8221; according to <i>CBS<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>The World Trade Center Health Program, established by Congress, provides treatment for a specific list of physical and mental health conditions that have been determined to be caused by exposure to the 9\/11 terrorist attacks.
