ATLANTA — Results from a study conducted by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) suggest that male breast cancer might be associated with being stationed at Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base in North Carolina and military housing exposure to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) perchloroethylene (PCE), t-1, 2 dichloroethylene (DCE), and vinyl chloride in drinking water at the base. However, the findings of this study were based on small numbers of cases, and modeled levels of exposure, so should be interpreted with caution.
