New York State Department of Health researchers will present the findings of an investigation into the occurrence of cancer among people living in the Northport-East Northport School District in Suffolk County. The investigation was initiated in response to an inquiry from members of the community who shared information about leukemias and other cancers diagnosed among members of the Northport High School graduating class of 2016 since their graduation. The investigation also examined the occurrence of cancer among children and young adults in the Northport area as well as among people of all ages.
