Previous
mortality studies of U.S. Gulf War veterans through 2000 and 2004 have
shown an increased risk of brain cancer mortality among some deployed
individuals. When veterans possibly exposed to environmental
contaminants associated with demolition of the Khamisiyah Ammunition
Storage Facility at Khamisiyah, Iraq, have been compared to
contemporaneously deployed unexposed veterans, the results have
suggested increased risk for mortality from brain cancer among the
exposed. Brain cancer mortality risk in this cohort has not been updated
since 2004.
