Researchers Target Tumor Growth As More Plaintiffs Seek Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings Related To Ovarian Cancer

TheProductLawyers.com reports on research identifying a protein that aids the spread of cancer.

According to an article by Science Daily, “researchers have identified a protein that helps ovarian cancer cells multiply and spread. By blocking it with a new antibody agent, they could slow the cancer's growth and stop it from metastasizing.” The source states that the finding has the potential to prevent or limit ovarian cancer in women who are high risk.

This is good news for those suffering with ovarian cancer, especially now that many women have come forward saying that common household products such as Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder are linked to the disease. Over the last 45 years, numerous studies have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. These powders have been the subject of thousands of lawsuits filed by plaintiffs claiming that they have suffered from ovarian cancer as a result of its use. Johnson & Johnson has maintained denial in these claims and has previously stated that there is no link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The company has never released a warning about the potential risks of its Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower To Shower products.

Several plaintiffs have already been awarded millions of dollars in compensation and lawsuit numbers are continuing to grow. Most of the filed cases are pending in a Missouri federal court, while others have been filed in New Jersey, where Johnson & Johnson is headquartered.
