Research on Commack LI prior to homes being built.I want info about a cancer cluster in area and poss cause?

Area is between Jericho tpk %26amp; Wicks Rd and Larkfield Rd %26amp; Commack Rd. I think it might have been a potato farm at one time and I am interested in what may be causing a cancer cluster in the area. Off the top of my head I can count 9 people on one block that have lung, breast, colon and bladder cancers and even a dog has cancer. Any info would be greatly appreciated....I grew up in the area and am concerned. THX

I don't have any personal experience with cancer clusters in this particular area (Commack, Long Island, NY), but I understand how to pull up research.





You might start at the New York Cancer Registry:

This information from the 1990's may give you a start . . oddly according to this breast mapping Commack had a low percentage of breast cancer . . .
