Another cancer patient has filed a lawsuit alleging a link between Monsanto’s weed killer Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

This is just one of many Roundup lawsuits currently facing Monsanto, Roundup’s manufacturer. Though Monsanto denies a link between Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, thousands of plaintiffs so far have joined this litigation.

The plaintiff who most recently joined this litigation, Florida plaintiff John V., alleges that he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma a decade ago. Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a kind of cancer that affects the immune system. As a result, he says, he lost the majority of his right lung.

John found out from a report published in 2015 that Roundup’s key ingredient, glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic to humans” — meaning it’s capable of causing cancer. This alerted John to the possibility of a link between Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. John worked for a public works department in Ohio for around 30 years, and sprayed Roundup regularly as part of his job.

Monsanto has continued to deny the claims that there is a link between Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, noting that an EPA report from 2016 said that glyphosate is “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans.”

Studies proving or disproving a link between Roundup and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma must necessarily be carried out over many years.

“Sadly we have products in the marketplace that have hurt people, are hurting people now, and will hurt people in the future,” said Robin Greenwald, one of the lawyers involved in the Roundup litigation, speaking to local NBC affiliate WBBH.

Monsanto’s popular weedkiller Roundup has been linked with a number of types of cancer, including non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

A number of farm workers and home gardeners, as well as others who have been consistently exposed to Roundup, have filed lawsuits against Monsanto with allegations of Roundup cancer, claiming that they were diagnosed with one of several kinds of cancer after using the weed killer. Other studies had already been published in the U.S., Canada, and Sweden that indicated a Roundup cancer link, since as far back as 2001.

Types of Roundup Cancer

Types of Roundup cancer that have so far been linked with the weedkiller include the following:

• Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
• Leukemia
• Multiple Myeloma
• B-cell Lymphoma
• Bone Cancer
• Renal Cell Carcinoma (kidney cancer)
• Other Cancers

Other side effects of the popular weed killer may include skin tumors, pancreatic islet cell tumors, chromosomal damage, and DNA damage.
