Altogether, 22 pesticides had associations with upped prostate cancer risk, although the study could not prove cause-and-effect. Three of the pesticides had already been linked previously to the cancer, including 2-4-D, a commonly used pesticide in the United States.

Researchers have identified 22 pesticides consistently associated with the incidence of prostate cancer in the United States, with four of the pesticides also linked with prostate cancer mortality. The findings are published in Cancer.

Exposure to any of the marked 22 pesticides can spike the risk of developing prostate cancer among men, a new study has revealed. The research, conducted over decades since prostate cancer grows extremely slowly,

Researchers have identified 22 pesticides consistently associated with the incidence of prostate cancer in the United States, with 4 of the pesticides also linked with prostate cancer mortality.

Exposure to any one of 22 pesticides may bring heightened odds of developing prostate cancer, a new analysis suggests. The study was conducted over decades because prostate cancer is known to grow very slowly, noted a team led by Dr. Simon John Christoph ...
