In addition, 92% of ADS are \u226440\u2009years of age. Together, these characteristics suggest that ADS represent a healthy population that may have a low risk of cancer. Each year, however, &amp;gt;800 ADS are diagnosed with cancer and the resulting in time off for treatment, reassignment, or medical retirement may significantly impact force readiness.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Material and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Relevant literature was identified by searching the PubMed database using search terms ACTIVE DUTY and CANCER.

Cancer incidence patterns in ADS differ from those in the general U.S. population and from military veterans. Tumor etiology in ADS may be influenced by military-enriched exposures such as prolonged use of oral contraceptives, suboptimal use of sunscreen, exposure to volatile organic compounds, or germline predisposition\/family history.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The etiology of cancer within ADS remains largely unknown.
