The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has proposed adding nine rare cancers to the presumptive list of service-connected disabilities for veterans who served in the Southwest Asia theater of operations. The VA has determined through a focused review of scientific and medical evidence that there is the plausibility that airborne hazards may have caused certain cancers of the respiratory tract in Gulf War veterans.
The cancers under consideration are:
Squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the trachea.
Adenocarcinoma of the trachea.
Salivary gland-type tumors of the trachea.
Adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung.
Large cell carcinoma of the lung.
Salivary gland-type tumors of the lung.
Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the lung.
Typical and atypical carcinoid of the lung.

Thanks. Big list. But I already have two distinct and separate primary cancers attributed to Agent Orange. Advanced Prostate Cancer, and Soft Tissue Sarcoma. Multiple operations for both. Thanks Uncle!
