A message from our president
Our Foundation wanted to find the answer. We worked with the foremost researchers in the United States who are experts on the environmental causes of lymphoma. We evaluated the scientific research on pesticides and lymphoma, and published a peer reviewed report, Do Pesticides Cause Lymphoma? No one had previously done a meta-analysis of all the studies together (a meta-analysis is a rigorous, evidence-based examination). In our research report we present 79 of the most widely recognized and accepted research studies on the link between pesticides and lymphoma. We found that there is a consensus in the scientific community that pesticides -- particularly weed killers -- are linked to nonhodgkin lymphoma. We hope that our research report Do Pesticides Cause Lymphoma? will help inform you about the environmental causes of cancer. Your feedback and comments are always welcome. | |
At one time, Lymphoma was a rare cancer. Now it is so common that the National Cancer Institute has called lymphoma an “epidemic.” Why has this happened?
