The evidence and its limits

National Cancer Institute and Agricultural Health Study collaborators · Journal of the National Cancer Institute · 2018

Glyphosate Use and Cancer Incidence in the Agricultural Health Study

Design:
Cohort
Participants:
54,251 licensed pesticide applicators; 44,932 reported glyphosate use
Finding:
The cohort did not find an overall link between glyphosate use and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Main limitation
Exposure was self-reported in a specific work population. This observational result cannot decide what caused one person’s cancer.

IARC Monographs Volume 112 glyphosate evaluation

Design:
Agency review
Participants:
No single sample; review of human, animal and laboratory evidence
Finding:
The agency classified glyphosate as a probable human cancer hazard using limited human evidence and animal evidence.
Main limitation
Limited human evidence means other explanations for a link could not be ruled out. A hazard classification does not prove a personal cause.

The short answer

Which work details should I keep?
List the products, places, tasks and dates you remember. Keep labels, receipts and work records you already have lawful access to. [3]
What does the worker study show?
The study found no overall link with lymphoma or its types. That finding matters to a balanced review of a claim. [3]
Why do agency assessments differ?
IARC says glyphosate probably can cause cancer. EPA’s view differs; it plans a new health review in late 2026. [2]
What changed in the warning-case law?
The Supreme Court ruled against Durnell’s cancer-label warning claim on June 25, 2026. It applied federal pesticide law to that claim. [1]

The process

What happens next

  1. 01

    You answer a few questions

    About two minutes. Nothing is sent until you agree on the last step and press submit.

  2. 02

    A lawyer looks at it

    A lawyer at the firm reads your answers and checks them against the current case criteria.

  3. 03

    The firm decides and gets in touch

    If the firm takes your case, you get the terms in writing to read before you sign. You can always say no.

Which work details should I keep?

List the products, places, tasks and dates you remember. Keep labels, receipts and work records you already have lawful access to.

The Agricultural Health Study examined licensed pesticide applicators, not every type of farm worker. Tell the lawyer whether you mixed, sprayed, directed work or had another exposure concern. Ask what evidence supports your actual account rather than using a study’s job description as an eligibility rule.

What does the worker study show?

The study found no overall link with lymphoma or its types. That finding matters to a balanced review of a claim.

The study followed 54,251 licensed pesticide users; 44,932 reported glyphosate use. It matched reported use with cancer registry records. This was not a trial. It cannot prove the cause of one worker’s illness or describe each type of work exposure.

Why do agency assessments differ?

IARC says glyphosate probably can cause cancer. EPA’s view differs; it plans a new health review in late 2026.

IARC used limited human evidence about lymphoma and enough evidence in animals. Limited means chance or other explanations were not ruled out. These findings do not decide your own diagnosis or claim. Give your care team and lawyer the work and health history you have.

What changed in the warning-case law?

The Supreme Court ruled against Durnell’s cancer-label warning claim on June 25, 2026. It applied federal pesticide law to that claim.

The ruling reversed the Missouri judgment and sent the case back. It does not say that every possible Roundup case ended. Ask how it affects your own claim and the parties involved. Your job title alone cannot decide the legal result.

Does a settlement notice automatically cover my work?

Ask the lawyer to check the actual notice and your history. The proposed King program has membership and payment rules that differ.

The program notice lists exposure dates and rules on earlier federal cases, residence and other facts. Being part of the class is not the same as meeting its payment rules. Keep notices, releases and past case records. Ask what rights a release would affect before you choose a step.

What should I do with health records and dates?

Request medical and billing records and keep the job history beside them. Ask promptly for a personal claim and time-limit check.

Covered record access has exceptions and may involve copy charges. Do not assume a program-choice date is your civil filing limit. Before hiring a lawyer, ask about the recovery share and separate expenses, including costs after a loss, and who would handle the next filing step.
