I was in cancer detection for over 40 years. The Talcum powder/Ovarian cancer link was in the news for us back in the early 70’s. I am surprised to read the article linked in the previous comment. There was never any link established between talc and ovarian cancer. The article linked relates to a case of mesothelioma, which is caused by asbestos exposure. The article also states that the talc stopped containing asbestos in 1973. Now, I do believe it is the lawyers that will profit from these lawsuits, but please , let’s be clear here. Ovarian cancer sufferers are usually linked by familial genetics, just like breast cancer. The claim that an ovarian cancer sufferer has won a lawsuit against talc doesn’t make sense. The woman in the article had mesothelioma, not plain ovarian cancer. But lawyers are gonna do what are gonna do lawyers do.....LIE. Ovarian cancer is devastating, but frequently cancers just happen. There is no one and/or nothing to blame. It just happens.
Another such hormone-sensitive site is mammary tissue. All fine except that with mammary tissue, the birth control pill significantly increases the incidence of breast cancer.
Hey lawyers: factor that into the worldwide female cancer morbidity and mortality rates, and get back to me as soon as you can, OK?
