At a Massachusetts hospital, five nurses from the same floor have been diagnosed with benign brain tumors, raising concerns among staff and the local community. The tumors, all benign, were found to be of three different types. While the cluster is unusual, the hospital stated that a thorough investigation found no environmental risk. Health officials continue to monitor the situation, and the hospital is working closely with public health agencies to ensure workplace safety and transparency.
