Town Meeting Set Over Brain Tumor Cases

CAMERON, Mo. — A town hall meeting is set for Thursday regarding the cluster of brain tumors in Cameron.
The meeting will allow residents to hear from state officials about what is going on the community.
More than 12 brain tumors have been diagnosed in recent months in the town, and the number of cases continues to grow.
Residents want answers as to what is causing the tumors.
“Just find out where it’s coming from and get it fixed. It’s hard telling how many people are walking around who’ve got tumors in their head and don’t even know it. They will know eventually,” said Steve Helms, who has been diagnosed with two brain tumors.
Helms said he and his family will be at the meeting, which is set to begin at 5:30 p.m. at Goodrich Auditorium in Cameron.
Representatives from several state agencies will be there to take questions.
