Microplastics were found in 90% of prostate tumor samples, with cancerous tissue containing 2.5 times more plastic than healthy tissue.
This is the first Western study to directly measure plastic particles inside prostate tumors and compare them to benign tissue.
Researchers suspect microplastics trigger chronic inflammation that may cause genetic changes and lead to cancer.
Plastic enters the body through food packaging, bottled water, and synthetic clothing, especially when heated or worn.
Switching to glass or stainless steel containers and eating cruciferous vegetables may help reduce exposure and support detoxification.
The tiny plastic particles that have invaded nearly every corner of modern life have now been found deep inside prostate cancer tumors, and at concentrations that demand attention. A 2026 study from NYU Langone Health presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology’s Genitourinary Cancers Symposium detected plastic particles in 90% of prostate tumor samples, with cancerous tissue containing roughly 2.5 times more plastic than nearby healthy tissue.
