Journal of Environmental Health: Occupational exposure to chlorinated solvents and risk of head and neck cancer in men: a population-based case-control study in France
In the past, former Camp Lejeune residents have filed claims for VA benefits for their diagnosis of nasal or sinus cancers, with some being confirmed and others being denied:
January 9th, 2017: “Entitlement to service connection for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, claimed as due to exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.”
January 10th, 2020: “Entitlement to service connection for maxillary sinus carcinoma (oral cancer), to include as a result of Camp Lejeune contaminated water (CLCW) is granted.”
October 26th, 2021: “Entitlement to service connection for sinus cancer, including residuals thereof, is remanded.”
Other Causes of Sinus Cancer
Understanding the potential causes of sinus cancer is essential for both prevention and treatment.
Several factors may contribute to the development of sinus cancer, including:
Genetic factors: Genetic predisposition can play a role in some cases of sinus cancer, as it does with many other types of cancer.
Lifestyle Choices: Tobacco and alcohol use are known risk factors for sinus cancer. Those who smoke and consume excessive alcohol have a higher likelihood of developing this cancer.
Viruses and Pathogens: In some instances, infections with certain viruses, such as human papillomavirus (HPV), can increase the risk of sinus cancer. The Epstein-Barr virus is also linked to this disease thanks to how it affects the body’s response to the formation of tumors.
Sinus Cancer Complications
This disease, like all other cancers, can lead to a range of challenging complications.
This issue is exacerbated by the fact that the sinus is located near delicate areas, like the brain and eyes.
Complications of sinus cancer may include:
Difficulty Breathing: As the tumor grows within the nasal cavity or sinuses, it can obstruct the air passages, making it increasingly difficult for the affected individual to breathe through their nose. This can lead to chronic congestion, frequent nosebleeds, and a sense of breathlessness.
Facial Pain and Pressure: The expansion of the tumor can cause localized facial pain and pressure. Patients may experience discomfort in the cheeks, around the eyes, or the forehead. This can be chronic and significantly affect their quality of life.
Vision Problems: In more advanced cases, sinus cancer can invade nearby structures, including the eye sockets and optic nerves. This can lead to vision problems such as double vision, blurry vision, or even vision loss. Timely intervention is crucial to prevent irreversible damage to the eyes.
Spread to Adjacent Structures: Sinus cancer can potentially infiltrate neighboring tissues and structures, including the brain, the bones of the face, and the nearby blood vessels. Invasion into these areas can lead to life-threatening complications and a more challenging course of treatment.
Metastasis: Sinus cancer, like other cancers, can metastasize or spread to distant parts of the body. The most common sites of metastasis are the lymph nodes, lungs, and bones. Once cancer has spread, it becomes even more difficult to treat and carries a poorer prognosis.
The water supply at Camp Lejeune was contaminated with highly toxic substances for over 30 years, exposing military service members, family members, civilian workers, and others to cancer causing chemicals.
Former Camp Lejeune residents went on to develop severe health problems as a result of exposure to contaminated drinking water, with countless residents and veterans exposed passing away as a result of these illnesses.
For decades after, Camp Lejeune victims went without proper acknowledgement from the government and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), receiving little or no compensation or health care benefits.
Legislative efforts, such as the Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, attempted to secure expanded VA benefits, disability compensation, and other relief for victims, but many veterans and others still faced denials.
It wasn’t until the Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 that victims were able to pursue compensation claims against the government for health issues and damages related to water contamination at Camp Lejeune.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act established the Camp Lejeune administrative claims process for victims to file compensation claims.
If administrative claims are not adjudicated within six months, or are otherwise denied, victims may be eligible to pursue Camp Lejeune Lawsuits in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The North Carolina federal court will handle all Camp Lejeune Lawsuits.
Camp Lejeune claims and Camp Lejeune Lawsuits may allow victims to receive financial compensation for the harm, suffering, and medical expenses incurred after being exposed to the contaminated water.
If you or a loved one were exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987, you may be eligible to file a Camp Lejeune claim.

Water contamination resulted from the use and disposal of various chemicals, including solvents and degreasers.
A major source of Camp Lejeune water contamination was an off-base dry cleaner, allegedly responsible for contamination from industrial solvents (TCE & PCE).
Toxic substances were often dumped into unlined pits and trenches, allowing them to seep into the groundwater.
Leaking underground storage tanks that held fuel may have also contributed to water contamination.
In August 2022, President Biden signed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, a comprehensive law addressing water contamination issues at Camp Lejeune.
