Additional health findings with data from Department of Veterans Affairs medical records as well as the Department of Defense and VA cancer registries going back as far as 1976 are set to be disclosed during a town hall meeting Oct. 31, Air Force Global Strike Command said in a news release.

A draft report of those findings was finished in September. But officials said more data, including looking at national and state-level cancer registries, will paint a more complete picture. The service is still working to gather that information.

"We won't be able to make definitive statements about cancer incidence among the missile

community until after we complete the epidemiological study," Col. Richard Speakman, commander of the Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, said in a statement. "But we know from previous studies that military members do have higher rates of certain cancers. Hopefully, this study will increase our awareness of any higher risk and enable airmen, Guardians and their families to make informed decisions."
