Burn pit exposure and cancer screening for veterans
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study offers cancer screening for veterans who were exposed to burn pits during deployment. It aims to find cancer early, when it's easier to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 35 years old or older.
- You are a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces (retired or no longer enlisted).
- You were deployed and exposed to burn pit smoke for more than one week (you could see the smoke from the base).
- You have not had cancer (except for non-melanoma skin cancer or very early-stage cancer) in the last 5 years, and you are not being evaluated for possible cancer now.
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you are not pregnant.
