CHRONIC LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA ROUNDUP LAWSUITS

What is Glyphosate?

Glyphosate is a chemical found in many Roundup products. While it has been marketed as a safe solution for weed control, numerous studies have revealed serious health risks linked to long-term exposure, particularly in relation to cancer.

In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of the World Health Organization, classified glyphosate as a “probably carcinogenic” substance after reviewing years of scientific evidence.

Cancer Risks from Glyphosate (Roundup)

These studies evaluated thousands of people who were exposed to pesticides containing glyphosate (used in Roundup) and found an increased risk of being diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia when exposed to this chemical.

Other studies have found links to increased rates of all types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A 2019 study suggests that continuous exposure to glyphosate may increase your risk of developing NHL by as much as 41%. The article supports “a compelling link between exposures to GBHs and increased risk for NHL.”

Glyphosate Exposure and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, characterized by the abnormal production of B-cells.  Recent studies have shown that people exposed to glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, are at a significantly higher risk of developing CLL.

A 2023 study found a significant association between exposure to glyphosate and an increased risk of developing hairy cell leukemia (HCL), a subtype of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The connection between glyphosate and CLL is especially concerning for individuals with prolonged exposure, such as farmers and landscapers.
