Cancer after 9/11: New Jersey man beats multiple myeloma years after attack, vows he'll ‘fight to live’
Fox News
Many patients and doctors are still fighting 9/11-related cancers, including Gerard Vanderberg, 69, diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and his oncologist, Dr. Dave Siegel at Hackensack Meridian.
But many patients and doctors continue to fight these cancers daily, including at Hackensack Meridian’s John Theurer Cancer Center in New Jersey. "There has been a significant increase in the risk of myeloma among people who worked in the World Trade Center, as well as first responders and construction workers." "With myeloma, the median age of diagnosis is about 70 … The median age for the World Trade Center-exposed patients was significantly younger than that." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
One of these is Gerard Vanderberg, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the blood plasma cells, in August 2010.
