Can Agent Orange Exposure Cause Cancer?
My husband recently had a CT scan. It was ordered because of low platelets in his blood. They called today and said there is a spot on his lung so they are having him see a pulmonary doctor. He has never smoked but was exposed to agent Orange during the Vietnam war. Has diabetes because of it. Can agent Orange cause lung cancer.

Hi,
Yes, Agent Orange can cause lung cancer. But the spot can be some other pathology so let the doctor make the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
