The study must review the literature for links to eleven named cancers
What the document says“review the literature to determine associations between exposures referred to in paragraph (1) and the incidence or prevalence of overall cancer morbidity, overall cancer mortality, and increased incidence or prevalence of-- (A) brain cancer; (B) colon and rectal cancers; (C) kidney cancer; (D) lung cancer; (E) melanoma skin cancer; (F) non-Hodgkin lymphoma; (G) pancreatic cancer; (H) prostate cancer; (I) testicular cancer; (J) thyroid cancer; (K) urinary bladder cancer”
Subsection (b)(2), the second of three things the study must do. Eleven cancers are listed by name. A twelfth item, subparagraph (L), leaves further cancers to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to determine, in consultation with the National Academies.
What the document actually says“review the literature to determine associations between exposures referred to in paragraph (1) and the incidence or prevalence of overall cancer morbidity, overall cancer mortality, and increased incidence or prevalence of-- (A) brain cancer; (B) colon and rectal cancers; (C) kidney cancer; (D) lung cancer; (E) melanoma skin cancer; (F) non-Hodgkin lymphoma; (G) pancreatic cancer; (H) prostate cancer; (I) testicular cancer; (J) thyroid cancer; (K) urinary bladder cancer”
Next the study must read what has been written. It must look for ties between those things and cancer. It must look at all cancer. It must also look at eleven kinds one by one.
The list names cancer of the brain, colon, kidney, lung, skin, pancreas, prostate, testicles, thyroid and bladder. It also names a blood cancer. The VA may add more kinds.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
