The analysis of a team of French & Peruvian researchers “strongly support a mechanistic link btwn pesticide exposure & cancer, challenging assumptions of human non-carcinogenicity….’”
‘This case study is a masterclass in scientific reasoning,’ said [Mathias Brugel, not involved w the study]. ‘They identify a cluster, associate it w overexposure to pesticides, obtain transcriptomic & epigenetic data…& open up a new avenue.’”

Pesticides and cancer: For the first time, researchers find a connection at the national level
French researchers have developed a model to map pesticide exposure across Peru to reported cancer clusters. They demonstrate a 'robust spatial association' between these chemicals and increased cancer incidence rates in over 400 areas.
