Supporters cite exposure concerns: The lawmakers say male breast cancer has been associated with toxic exposure and that about 100 male veterans are diagnosed each year. The bill is backed by Veterans of Foreign Wars and Burn Pits 360, and the sponsors also point to earlier efforts related to veterans’ breast cancer screening and PACT Act benefits.
