PORT CLINTON
A study of cancer rates has found that the number of cancer cases diagnosed among residents of Port Clinton in 1996-2007 was greater than expected due to chance alone.
The study also said the number of lung and bronchus cancers and pancreatic cancer was greater than expected due to chance alone from that same time period.
The Ottawa County Health Department has not found the cause of the cancer.

For as many cancer centers there are in the Sandusky area I would think SANDUSKY has a cancer cluster. Is there any reports on Sandusky? Looks like a good time to buy NOMS or Ireland stock!
