Main Page | See live article | Alphabetical index The Cancer Coast is a moniker given by Oncologists at the Texas Medical Center in Houston and members of the Houston-area media to a region of the Texas Gulf Coast stretching from the Sabine River to the southern boundary of Brazoria County and reaching 20 to 50 miles inland. Oncologists and media postulate that the cancer clusters evident in this area might be caused by the high concentration of petrochemical plants. This article is from Wikipedia.
