  1. 01

    What specific exposures during fixed-wing aircrew service does the VA suspect may be linked to elevated cancer rates among these veterans?

  2. 02

    How would findings from this National Academies study potentially change VA healthcare or benefits for affected aircrew veterans?

  3. 03

    Why focus a dedicated study on fixed-wing aircrew rather than examining cancer rates across all military occupational groups?
