A cross-sectional study comparing tumor profiles between military personnel and the general population: Insights from the NHANES database

Military personnel are routinely exposed to a range of occupational and environmental hazards (including chemical agents, radiation, physical stress, and psychological trauma) that may uniquely influence their long-term health outcomes. Emerging evidence suggests that such exposures could alter cancer risk profiles, yet comprehensive comparisons of tumor prevalence and distribution between military and civilian populations remain limited. Leveraging a nationally representative dataset, this...
