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[?].
