CHICAGO — In this video, Maneesh Jain, MD, discussed the backstory behind a study he co-authored regarding the link between Agent Orange and myeloproliferative neoplasms, presented at ASCO Annual Meeting.
Jain, a hematologist/oncologist at Washington, D.C., Veterans Affairs Medical Center, explained how his interactions with several former Air Force pilots who had been exposed to Agent Orange led him to study the link between the chemical and myeloproliferative neoplasms.
“This work was really important because it had never been done before, and it could hopefully lead to an opportunity where veterans who have been exposed to Agent Orange might be able to get benefits related to their time in the war,” Jain said.
