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).
