Knowledge is Power, Education is Key.
Between 2001 to 2021 during the Global War on Terror, approximately 3.7 million service members deployed overseas; of those individuals, over 520,966 have been diagnosed with cancer, and at least 241,000 have died from "Ill-defined, unknown causes of medical illness".
The concern is that this young, otherwise healthy population does not meet the demographic standard for normal CDC cancer screening guidelines. The average age range for these individuals is between 35-40 years. And unfortunately, given the tendency of healthcare providers to assume post-9/11 veterans suffer from increased rates of mental health disorders, many of the physical symptoms they present with are deemed 'psychosomatic.' Furthermore, studies show providers are more likely to dismiss a physical symptom as mental health-related in a 19:1 ratio. Only 4% of civilian providers are deemed "competent" to provide veteran-specific and complete care.
Our mission encompasses that of the public health model, with evidence-based education, early cancer identification through screening and risk reduction to ensure our fellow service members avoid these preventable cancer deaths.
