Did Water Contamination at Camp Lejeune Cause Cervical Cancer?

Between 1953 and 1987, trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), vinyl chloride, benzene, and other substances were found in the water at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Researchers believe much of the contamination came from a local dry-cleaning operation.

Chemicals like these from industrial waste may be associated with an increased risk of certain kinds of cancer, including cervical and ovarian cancers. In recent years, many former service members and civilian employees who served at Camp Lejeune have reported developing cervical cancer, leading many victims to wonder if their exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune may be connected.

Evidence that Camp Lejeune Water Caused Cervical Cancer

Several studies have been conducted at Camp Lejeune looking at the relationship between drinking water and cervical cancer. As a result, there is strong evidence that exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune area increased the risk of developing cervical cancer.

In one study in the Journal of Environmental Health, scientists found a significant risk of death from cervical cancer among women who had ever lived at Camp Lejeune or drank from the base’s water supply. This study also indicated elevated risks of death from other cancers such as non-Hodgkins lymhoma, liver cancer, esophogeal cancer and several others.

Additional studies have been done specifically looking at the association between TCE and cervical cancer. TCE is a known human carcinogen, and regular exposure to it has been linked to a wide variety of cancers, including cervical cancer. Research has found that in areas where people were regularly exposed to TCE, such as through work, researchers found a significant increase in the risk of cervical cancer in the women they surveyed.

The other solvents such as benzene and vinyl chloride found in Camp Lejeune water have also been linked to an elevated risk for cancer, though more studies are needed to specifically link these contaminants to cervical cancer.
