"A new study of US Veterans has found that exposure to Agent Orange is linked to a two-fold higher risk of developing the most lethal forms of prostate cancer. The researchers suggest a history of exposure to the agent, which contains the dioxin 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a dangerous toxin and carcinogen, should be one of the first things to look for when screening Veterans as it could lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment and prolong survival."
