Cancer: We’ve made advances in areas like breast cancer and prostate cancer, with more cancers studied every year
Wellness: We’re finding ways for Veterans to live healthier lives through nutrition and lifestyle choices
And more: We’re studying dozens of health conditions that matter to Veterans, including diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, endometriosis, osteoarthritis, and impacts of military exposures. Visit our Science Corner to learn more.
