Study reveals links between many pesticides and prostate cancer

Prostate cancer is a prevalent disease among men in the United States, and recent research has shed light on the potential link between pesticide exposure and the incidence of this cancer. A study published in Cancer has identified 22 pesticides that are consistently associated with prostate cancer incidence, with four of them also linked to prostate cancer mortality.

To conduct the study, researchers analyzed the county-level associations of 295 pesticides with prostate cancer across different counties in the United States. They used a lag period of 10–18 years between exposure to pesticides and the development of prostate cancer to account for the slow-growing nature of most prostate cancers. The years 1997–2001 were examined for pesticide use, while 2011–2015 and 2016–2020 were assessed for prostate cancer outcomes.

Among the 22 pesticides identified as directly associated with prostate cancer incidence were three that had previously been linked to the disease, including the commonly used pesticide 2,4D. The remaining 19 pesticides had not been previously associated with prostate cancer and included herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and a soil fumigant.

Interestingly, four of the pesticides that were linked to prostate cancer incidence were also found to be associated with prostate cancer mortality. These included three herbicides (trifluralin, cloransulam-methyl, and diflufenzopyr) and one insecticide (thiamethoxam). While trifluralin is classified as a “possible human carcinogen” by the Environmental Protection Agency, the other three pesticides are considered unlikely to be carcinogenic.

Lead author of the study, Simon John Christoph Soerensen, MD, from Stanford University School of Medicine, emphasized the importance of studying environmental exposures like pesticide use to understand the geographic variations observed in prostate cancer incidence and deaths across the United States. By further investigating these findings, researchers hope to identify risk factors for prostate cancer and work towards reducing the number of men affected by this disease.

The study, titled “Pesticides and Prostate Cancer Incidence and Mortality: An Environmental Wide Association Study,” provides valuable insights into the potential impact of pesticide exposure on prostate cancer. This research opens up new avenues for understanding the relationship between environmental factors and cancer development, paving the way for targeted prevention strategies in the future.
