FREDERICK, Md. - Maryland's public health agency says a nearly 18-month cancer investigation has produced enough statistically significant results to warrant continued monitoring in neighborhoods around Fort Detrick in Frederick.
A Department of Health and Mental Hygiene official said at a public meeting Monday that the incidence of lymphomas within a mile of the Army installation from 1992 to 2008 was 25 percent higher than in the state as a whole.
But Dr. Clifford Mitchell says there was no statistically significant difference between the Fort Detrick area and the rest of Frederick County.
