A case-control study of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) in eastern Nebraska. - Finds a slight increase NHL risk for men who mix or apply 2,4-D, fungicides and OPs.[Zahm, S., et al. 1990. Epidemiology 1(5):349-356]
A case-control study of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and exposure to pesticides - Finds an increased risk for NHL for people exposed to herbicides, specifically significant is exposure to MCPA, and fungicides.[Hardell, L., et al. 1999. Cancer 85(6):1353-1360]
Agricultural pesticide use and risk of t(14;18)-defined subtypes of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. - Finds the risk of t(14;18)-positive NHL subtype is significantly elevated among farmers who used animal insecticides, crop insecticides, herbicides and fumigants . No increased risk of t(14;18)-negative NHL subtype for these pesticides, which may explain some of the inconsistencies in epidemiological study of NHL and pesticide exposure. Find risk increases with longer duration of use. [Chiu, B., et al. 2006. Blood 108(4):1363-1369]
Exposure to Glyphosate-Based Herbicides and Risk for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Meta-Analysis and Supporting Evidence - Luoping Zhang, Iemaan Ranaa, Rachel M.Shaffer, Emanuela Taioli, Lianne Sheppard
Farming, pesticide use and hairy-cell leukemia. - A significant association is found between HCL and exposure to pesticides used in farming . Orgaonphosphates were positively associated with HCL.[Clavel, J., et al. 1996. Scand J Work Environ Health 22(4):285-293]
Integrative assessment of multiple pesticides as risk factors for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma among men. - Finds coumaphos, diazinon, and glyphosate are associated with an increase in NHL incidence.[De Roos, A.J., et al. 2003. Occupational and Environmental Medicine 60(9):e11]
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and specific pesticide exposures in men: cross-Canada study of pesticides and health. - Finds an increase risk of NHL for exposure to dicamba, carbamates, OPs, amide fungicides and fumigant carbon tetrachloride, mecoprop, malathion and carbaryl. [McDuffie, H., et al. 2001.Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention 10:1155-1163]
Occupational exposure to organochlorine insecticides and cancer incidence in the Agricultural Health Study. - Finds a significant increase in risk for NHL and lindane.[Purdue, M.P., et al. 2007. Int J Cancer 120(3):642-649]
Occupational exposure to pesticides and risk of hematopoietic cancers: meta-analysis of case-control studies. - finds that occupational pesticide exposure greater than ten years significantly increases risk of NHL (OR 1.65); [Merhi, M, et al. 2007. Cancer Causes Control 18(10):1209-1226]
Occupational exposure to terbufos and the incidence of cancer in the Agricultural Health Study. - Shows a suggestive association between terbufos and NHL.[Bonner, M.R., et al. 2010. Cancer Causes Control 21(6):871-7]
Pesticide exposure as risk factor for non-Hodgkin lymphoma including histopathological subgroup analysis. - Finds the highest risk is for exposure to: herbicides – MCPA & glyphosate . Other lymphomas associated with exposure to phenoxyacetic acids phenoxy herbicides .[Eriksson, M., et al. 2008. Int J Cancer 123(7):1657-1663]
Proportionate mortality study of golf course superintendents. - Finds an elevated number deaths from NHL (PMR 237).[Kross, B.C., et al. 1996. Am J Ind Med 29(5):501-506]
The role of agricultural pesticide use in the development of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in women. - Finds that NHL risk is significantly increased for women who handle OP insecticides, for use of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, and for chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide use on cattle. The study finds that pesticide related risk are grater for woman with a family history of cancer.[Zahm, S., et al. 1993. Archives of Environmental Health 48(5):353-358]
