Roundup Primary CNS Lymphoma Lawsuit Lawyer

Roundup Primary CNS Lymphoma Lawsuit Overview

Monsanto Roundup, the globe’s leading herbicide, has been associated with primary CNS lymphoma, a cancer form targeting the brain and spinal cord.

Lawsuits allege that plaintiffs developed this specific type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma after long-term exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup.

These cases are part of ongoing litigation against Monsanto regarding cancer risks from their widely-used herbicide products.

Latest Roundup Lawsuit Updates

April 9, 2019 – A pathologist from the City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California, who claims to have poured over more than 2,000 pages of medical records for the plaintiffs in the next Roundup cancer trial concluded that exposure to glyphosate was the “most significant contributing factor” in causing their development of non-Hodgkin lymphoma [1].

Dr. Dennis Weisenburger, who was hired by the plaintiffs and has authored nearly 400 peer-reviewed articles on non-Hodgkin lymphoma, seemed confident in his assertion that Roundup was the likely causative agent in both plaintiffs’ development of the disease.

FDA Reports and Statistics

According to a National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) fact sheet, exposure to glyphosate — the active ingredient in Roundup — may be carcinogenic.

Studies have linked the use of glyphosate to various forms of lymphoma, particularly affecting the central nervous system [2].

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What Causes Primary CNS Lymphoma?

While the exact causes of primary CNS lymphoma are unknown, studies have linked cancer to the use of Roundup and other glyphosate-based herbicides. Additionally, the disease has been associated with conditions that affect the immune system such as HIV/AIDS, and in patients who have had an organ transplant.

2. What Are the Common Symptoms of Primary CNS Lymphoma?

Common symptoms include changes in speech or vision, fever, headache, unexplained weight loss, seizures, changes in personality, numbness to extreme temperatures, and paralysis on one side of the body. These symptoms may develop gradually or appear suddenly depending on the tumor location and growth rate.

3. How Is Primary CNS Lymphoma Diagnosed and Staged?

After primary central nervous system lymphoma has been diagnosed through imaging and possibly biopsy, tests will be conducted to determine whether cancer cells have spread. This staging process is important to know if cancer has migrated to other parts of the body in order to maximize the effectiveness of treatment.

4. What Treatment Options Are Available for Primary CNS Lymphoma?

Treatment typically includes a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Steroid therapy may often be administered before chemo, as this helps reduce swelling around the tumor, and may even shrink the tumor, reducing the raised intracranial pressure.

5. Are There Specific Lawyers Who Specialize in Roundup Lawsuits?

Yes, many lawyers and law firms specialize in Roundup and other product liability lawsuits. Choosing an attorney with experience in these cases is crucial for the best representation in your glyphosate exposure claim.

6. What If My Health Condition Is Not Listed as a Known Risk of Roundup Exposure?

Consult with a lawyer to evaluate your case. New health risks may emerge as more research is conducted, and a lawyer can help determine if you have a viable claim based on your specific medical condition and exposure history.

7. Can I File a Lawsuit If I Was Exposed to Roundup Years Ago?

Yes, you can file a lawsuit even if your exposure occurred years ago, as long as it falls within the statute of limitations for your state. Promptly consulting with an attorney is important to evaluate the timeliness of your potential claim.
