Update: Roundup Cancer Trial Moves Forward

July 12, 2018 – Hundreds of lawsuits alleging Roundup caused cancer advanced a crucial step forward on Thursday when a judge in the San Francisco Superior Court ruled that a cancer victim could present expert testimony linking the herbicide to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria said evidence linking glyphosate was “rather weak”; however, he also affirmed that the opinions of 3 experts linking the weed killer to cancer were relevant, and not tantamount to “junk science.”

Roundup Cancer Study: Glyphosate a Probable Cause of Lymphoma

In March 2015, glyphosate was designated as a probable cause of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) [1], which is the World Health Organization’s cancer research arm. The classification was based on a review of multiple studies regarding the effects of glyphosate on agricultural and forestry workers since 2001.

The evidence shows that people exposed to glyphosate experienced higher rates of lymphoma compared to those who weren’t exposed to the herbicide. The IARC report further points out that glyphosate is used in about 750 products worldwide, and use of the herbicide has “increased sharply with the development of genetically modified glyphosate-resistant crop varieties.”

What is Cutaneous Lymphoma?

Cutaneous lymphomas are a specific subset of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. They are cancers of white blood cells called lymphocytes which typically affect the skin. The definition is based on lymphocyte type: B-lymphocytes (B-cell) or T-lymphocytes (T-cell). Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is the most common form of cutaneous lymphoma.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma include:

• Raised, rash-like patches of skin
• Lumps on the skin
• Swollen lymph nodes

Lymphoma Treatment

As with most types of cancer, treatment for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma depends on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. Treatments may include one or more of the following:

• Watch and wait
• Topical treatments applied to the skin
• Ultraviolet light (PUVA) treatment
• Narrowband UVB treatment (TLO-1)
• Radiotherapy
• Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT)
• Chemotherapy
• Interferon
• Bexarotene
• Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP)
• Stem cell or bone marrow transplant

Prognosis (Outlook)

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma may remain confined to the skin for many years; however, the abnormal cells may eventually infiltrate other tissues including blood, lymph nodes, lungs, heart, liver, and spleen. Unlike some other lymphomas, the long-term prognosis is generally good. Symptoms can usually be controlled with treatment.
