| Abstract | Executive Summary The WTC Program Administrator has determined minimum latencies for the following five types or categories of cancer eligible for coverage in the WTC Health Program: (1) Mesothelioma—11 years, based on direct observation after exposure to mixed forms of asbestos, which represents a change from the October 17, 2012 version of the Administrator’s White Paper on Minimum Latency & Types or Categories of Cancer; (2) All solid cancers (other than mesothelioma, lymphoproliferative, thyroid, and childhood cancers)—4 years, based on low estimates used for lifetime risk modeling of low-level ionizing radiation studies; (3) Lymphoproliferative and hematopoietic cancers (including all types of leukemia and lymphoma)—0.4 years (equivalent to 146 days), based on low estimates used for lifetime risk modeling of low-level ionizing radiation studies, which represents a change for lymphoproliferative cancers only from the October 17, 2012 version of the Administrator’s White Paper on Minimum Latency & Types of Categories of Cancer; (4) Thyroid cancer—2.5 years, based on low estimates used for lifetime risk modeling of lowlevel ionizing radiation studies; and (5) Childhood cancers (other than lymphoproliferative and hematopoietic cancers)—1 year, based on the National Academy of Sciences findings. |

| Comments | Note for May 1, 2013 Revision: As new scientific information becomes available to the World Trade Center (WTC) Program Administrator on minimum latencies for the types or categories of cancers on the List of WTC-Related Health Conditions found at 42 C.F.R. § 88.1, minimum latencies may be modified. The Administrator’s May 1, 2013 revision to the White Paper on Minimum Latency & Types or Categories of Cancer changes minimum latencies for mesothelioma and the category of lymphoproliferative and hematopoietic cancers. |
