Agent Orange and Pancreatic Cancer
Veterans who served in the military during the Vietnam War and were exposed to Agent Orange are at an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer.
Due to the aggressive nature of this cancer and the potential link with Agent Orange exposure, it is crucial for veterans to be aware of their risk and monitor their health closely.
Pancreatic cancer often does not cause symptoms in the early stages, and when symptoms do appear, they can be vague and nonspecific.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) recognizes pancreatic cancer as a presumptive condition associated with Agent Orange exposure, meaning that veterans who develop this cancer may be eligible for disability compensation and healthcare benefits.
What is Pancreatic Cancer?
The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach that produces enzymes that help with digestion and hormones that regulate blood sugar levels.
Pancreatic cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth in the pancreas and is a serious and often aggressive cancer that is difficult to treat.
Treatment for pancreatic cancer typically depends on the stage of cancer and the patient's overall health.
Pancreatic cancer can be divided into two main types:
Exocrine tumors are the most common type of pancreatic cancer, accounting for about 95% of cases.
These tumors develop in the cells that line the ducts of the pancreas and produce digestive enzymes.
Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of exocrine tumor.
Neuroendocrine tumors are less common and develop in the hormone-producing cells of the pancreas.
These tumors can be benign or malignant, and the symptoms and treatment options depend on the type of tumor.
abdominal pain
weight loss
loss of appetite
jaundice
and fatigue
Because these symptoms can be caused by many other conditions, pancreatic cancer is often not diagnosed until it has advanced to a later stage.
It's important to note that pancreatic cancer is often difficult to treat and has a high mortality rate.
Early detection is key to improving the chances of successful treatment.
It's important to talk to your doctor about your individual situation and the best treatment options for you.
Does Agent Orange Cause Pancreatic Cancer?
Agent Orange was a potent mixture that contained the highly toxic dioxin, TCDD.
When a person is exposed to Agent Orange, the toxic chemicals can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.
A study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences found that Vietnam Veterans exposed to Agent Orange had a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than those who were not exposed.
The VA recognizes pancreatic cancer as a presumptive condition associated with Agent Orange exposure, however, more research is needed to better understand the connection between Agent Orange and pancreatic cancer.
If you have been denied benefits for Agent Orange exposure, it’s best to reach out to an experienced VA attorney or expert in veterans law.
