Well, it's certainly "fuzzy" enough, that folks can say "We don't have any proof!".
I will say that New York is the best damn place on Earth to get cancer treatment. I've seen many, many people fight cancer, since I moved here, but only a few have died.
Another confounding variable could be demography as well. Depending on what town you pick in Long Island you might end up with a population that is predominantly of a group that might hold elevated risk for whatever reason. E.G. among women there is significantly elevated risk of breast cancer if you have some Ashkenazi Jewish heritage.
