One in four of ALL people get cancer of one form or another during their lifetime. We would all be better off if we focused more on research and less on blame. Please pass along a "Thank you for your Service" to whoever you were asking for... "Prostate cancer is considered by the Institute of Medicine to have suggestive but not conclusive evidence of an association with Agent Orange exposure. In response to the Institute of Medicine conclusions, the Department of Veterans Affairs currently offers compensation for these ailments. Prostate cancer is, by far, the most common of these illnesses, yet has the least scientific support for Agent Orange as a causative factor"

Prostate cancer is a gland - the loss of a gland due to exposure to Agent Orange is considered 100% disability. I had prostate cancer - as it runs in families, my brother was tested and found to have the cancer also. My brother is a Nam Vet and found out after the fact the info I placed up above. Any Nam Vet who develops prostate cancer is assumed to have contracted the cancer through exposure to Agent Orange
