B-cell Lymphoma is a type of NHL lymphoma lymphocyte, a white blood cell that helps protect the body from infections. These cells are essential for making antibodies and fighting diseases that cause infections. When B cells grow uncontrollably, they form tumors in the lymphatic system, leading to serious health complications.
B-cell lymphoma presents various symptoms that can often be mistaken for other illnesses. Common signs include:
Early detection is critical; treatment works better when the disease is found in the early stages.
Several factors make it more likely to develop B-cell lymphoma, including:
Glyphosate is a weed killer used for many types of plants: agriculture, gardening, and landscaping. While Monsanto (now owned by Bayer) has long defended the safety of Roundup, numerous studies suggest a strong link between glyphosate exposure and non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, particularly B-cell Lymphoma.
A 2019 meta-analysis published in Mutation Research/Reviews in Mutation Research reviewed epidemiological studies on Lymphoma and found that glyphosate exposure increased the risk of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma by 41%. Researchers concluded that agricultural workers and others frequently exposed to glyphosate were significantly more likely to develop Lymphoma.
The IARC, a division of the WHO, declared glyphosate as "possibly cancer-causing for humans" in 2015. This classification was based on substantial evidence of DNA damage and oxidative stress caused by glyphosate exposure, which can lead to cancer development.
Due to the mounting scientific evidence linking glyphosate to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, thousands of laws have been filed against Monsanto and Bayer. Plaintiffs claim that prolonged exposure to Roundup caused their cancer and lymphoma manufacturers to fail to warn consumers about the risks.
Several high-profile cases have resulted in substantial verdicts for victims:
In recent years, Bayer has agreed to settle thousands of cases for billions of dollars. However, many individuals still have pending claims and are seeking justice.
Individuals diagnosed with B-cell Lymphoma or other forms of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after prolonged Roundup exposure may be eligible to file a lawsuit. Those who have worked in agriculture, landscaping, gardening, or any profession involving regular glyphosate exposure should consider their legal options.
Compensation in these lawsuits may cover the following:
