Camp Lejeune prostate cancer claims

As the most common malignant disease in veterans, prostate cancer occurs in 12,000 veterans every year. 1 in 8 men will receive a prostate cancer diagnosis during his lifetime, but the risk is higher for veterans, especially Camp Lejeune veterans, as they were exposed to toxic water during the last century, which is a major risk factor for this disease. Veterans who spent time at this military base have a 14% greater risk of developing prostate cancer.

Exposure to benzene, which lurked in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune, increases the likelihood of developing prostate cancer. Researchers found prostate cancer risk to be considerably high among men older than 25 at significant benzene exposure levels. Moreover, a positive association between prostate cancer and benzene and ethylbenzene exposure was observed. Further still, exposure to trichloroethylene, another solvent that was present in the water at Camp Lejeune, is associated with excess incidences of prostate cancer.

Veterans and family members who spent time at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987 and now worry they might have developed prostate cancer should look out for the following symptoms, which might indicate the onset of this disease:

• urinating often, especially at night
• weak or interrupted flow of urine
• difficulty starting urination
• trouble emptying the bladder
• burning sensation during urination
• blood in the urine or semen
