A cancer cluster refers to a situation in which a higher-than-expected number of cancer cases occurs within a specific geographic area or among a specific group of people over a defined period of time. These clusters may raise concerns about potential environmental, occupational, or genetic factors that might contribute to the increased incidence of cancer. Cancer clusters can sometimes attract public attention or investigation, especially if they appear to be linked to certain locations, such as near industrial sites, landfills, or other sources of potential environmental exposure.
