Healio, June 27, 2023
Men exposed to Agent Orange during their military service had a modestly increased risk for bladder cancer, results of a retrospective study of Vietnam veterans showed. “This study was the largest retrospective cohort study to date from the largest equal access system in the U.S. and found a modest association between Agent Orange and bladder cancer risk,” said Dr. Stephen B. Williams, the study’s lead author and director of urologic oncology at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Many other national news organizations reported the findings of this study.
