Did Camp Lejeune Contaminated Water Cause Ovarian Cancer?

Victims claim that an explosion of ovarian cancer cases and other diseases among former service members, family members, and civilian workers may be linked to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. We believe the scientific evidence will support ovarian cancer claims filed against the federal government alleging that the water contamination on base between 1953 and 1987 caused ovarian cancer and other diseases.

Evidence That Water at Camp Lejeune Caused Ovarian Cancer

According to scientific studies, chemicals from improperly handled industrial waste may be connected to an increased risk of certain kinds of cancer and other health issues, including immune and neurological problems. Between 1953 and 1987, trichloroethylene (TCE), perchloroethylene (PCE), vinyl chloride, benzene, and other substances were found in the water at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina.

There is significant scientific research connecting these contaminants with an increased risk for ovarian cancer, including:

  • A 1996 publication in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine that showed a link between TCE exposure and an elevated risk of ovarian cancer and other cancers.
  • An ATSDR assessment that specifically studied the contaminants in Camp Lejeune water and found they were associated with various cancers, including ovarian cancer.
  • An EPA report that examined the relationship between TCE exposure and various cancers, including ovarian cancer

Camp Lejeune water was contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals, and a clear correlation has been made between these chemicals and ovarian cancer. If you were exposed to this contaminated water and suffered from ovarian cancer, you may be eligible for a claim.

Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer

Several symptoms are common signs of ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, they are easy to overlook or ignore. This is troubling because ovarian cancer can be life-threatening. For example, certain types of pain are commonly associated with ovarian cancer, such as pain or discomfort in the pelvis or abdomen. Often, this type of pain is coupled with other symptoms.

Bodily functions can become disrupted. It is not uncommon to experience changes in bowel movements that are not explained by other health issues. Another example involves the sudden, strong need to urinate often or urgently. A person could also experience issues with their appetite or a disruption of their eating habits. This includes difficulty eating, not feeling hungry, or feeling full shortly after beginning a meal. Increased abdominal girth and bloating are also potential symptoms.

It’s also important to understand risk factors when considering the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Some of the more common risk factors include:

  • Being overweight
  • Having children after the age of 35
  • Having a genetic predisposition

Ovarian cancer can also result from exposure to harmful substances, including dangerous drugs, unsafe health and personal hygiene products, or environmental hazards, as in the case of contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

I think we want to break this long paragraph into bullet points if possible.

How to File a Camp Lejuene Ovarian Cancer Claim or Lawsuit?

Victims of ovarian cancer potentially due to chemical exposure from the water at Camp Lejeune may now bring their claims forward due to the Camp Lejeune Justice Act.
