The researchers found that exposure to Agent Orange was associated with a small, but significant, increased risk of bladder cancer (hazard ratio, 1.04). In stratified analyses, Agent Orange was not associated with bladder cancer risk among veterans older than the median age, while those younger t...

The latest in a series of congressionally mandated biennial reviews of the evidence of health problems that may be linked to exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used during the Vietnam War found sufficient evidence of an association for hyperte
We attempted to quantify potential individual exposures to Agent Orange (to include its trace dioxin contaminant) experienced by persons (e.g., aircrew, passengers) who worked on or travelled in UC-123 aircraft between 1972 and 1982. After an extensive search of the scientific and technical liter...
