Prostate Cancer and the Military and Agent Orange

Agent Orange is usually the first thing veterans with prostate cancer ask about. Indeed, way back in 1998, Malecare was an early advocate for men exposed to Agent Orange. Military veterans as well as Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian civilians were exposed to Agent Orange, and many of those who are men are now diagnosed, dying or have died from prostate cancer.

Few institutions beside the US military are as comprehensive about research and training regarding all aspects of military life. And, many military institutions besides the US military are equally as good regarding protecting the soldier from environmental harm. I imagine that many ad hoc and insurgent military units read and follow US military handbooks and trainings from public access, too. But, there remain many toxic qualities to materials and methods, which remain to be researched.
