Liver Cancer Linked To Contaminated Drinking Water At Camp Lejeune

An increased risk of liver cancer has been identified by medical professionals who’ve studied the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune as a particularly common diagnosis.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) conducted many scientific studies on the Camp Lejeune water supply, and found that residents with long-term exposure suffered from higher rates of liver cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, rectal cancer, and many other deadly forms of cancer.

About Liver Cancer

Liver cancer is a cancer that begins in the cells in the liver, football-sized organ that sits in the upper right portion of the abdomen, beneath the diaphragm and above the stomach.

An average of 41,000 cases of liver cancer are diagnosed every year, and up to an average of 30,000 people die every year of liver cancer.

Liver cancer spreads, or metastasizes, relatively quickly and can be debilitating.

It’s important that if a person is experiencing symptoms of liver cancer, they seek medical attention immediately.

Symptoms of liver cancer often include:

• Unintended weight loss
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea, dizziness and vomiting
• Fatigue and weakness
• Jaundice

What Chemicals in the Camp Lejeune Drinking Water are Linked to Liver Cancer?

It’s speculated that the high number of liver cancer cases at Camp Lejeune result from exposure to chemical risk factors such as Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Vinyl Chloride.

Liver cancer was named in the Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry (ATSDR) report that detailed exposure to certain chemicals, such as TCE, at the military base.

A significant source of TCE contamination came from ABC Cleaners, an off base dry cleaner located right by the Tarawa Terrace Water Treatment Plant.

Scientific evidence has also pointed to vinyl chloride, another main contaminant at Camp Lejeune, as a potential risk factor for liver cancer.

The National Cancer Institute lists a rare type of liver cancer, hepatic angiosarcoma, as potentially linked to vinyl chloride exposure.

Vinyl chloride has also been linked to Hepatic Steatosis (Fatty Liver Disease), another common diagnosis amongst those who consumed contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune.

Scientific evidence and further research on the relation between chemical contamination and liver cancer include the following:

• International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health: A meta-analysis of occupational trichloroethylene exposure and liver cancer
• Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Environmental Health Perspectives: Mode of action of liver tumor induction by trichloroethylene and its metabolites, trichloroacetate and dichloroacetate.
• Occupational & Environmental Medicine: Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene and the risk of lymphoma, liver, and kidney cancer in four Nordic countries
• Journal of Hepatology: Vinyl chloride and the liver
• Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health: Meta-analysis of studies of occupational exposure to vinyl chloride in relation to cancer mortality
• International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health: Critical review of the epidemiological literature on occupational exposure to perchloroethylene and cancer
