From the New York Post: A sixth staff member with a brain tumor has been identified at one Massachusetts hospital, which earlier this month insisted “no environmental risks” were at play.
All six staffers work or have worked on the fifth floor of Mass General Brigham’s Newton-Wellesley Hospital, located about 20 minutes west of Boston.
Each of the brain tumor cases was benign, though six additional staffers on the floor were found to have “other health concerns.”
News broke earlier this month that several people working in the maternal care labor and delivery unit had developed brain tumors.
One of those people told CBS News that she was among as many as 10 nurses who’d had brain tumors — both cancerous and noncancerous — over the past few years.

According to NBC10 Boston, the Newton-Wellesley Hospital has been conducting an investigation, and say they found no environmental risks which could be linked to the development of a brain tumor. Earlier the hospital said they found five nurses who had brain tumors. Now NBC Boston says a sixth staffer with a brain tumor has come forward.
10 nurses who work on the same ward have brain tumours diagnosed. TEN.
Occupational health say they’ve checked and there is no environmental cause.
Case closed.
