Recent studies continue to link pesticide exposure to breast cancer, a disease diagnosed in nearly 400,000 U.S. women annually and causing more than 40,000 deaths, according to reports from Beyond Pesticides. This growing body of evidence stands in contrast to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling in Monsanto v.

However, the EPA does not require breast cancer warnings on pesticide labels.
A study published in June 2026 found higher breast cancer rates in rural U.S. counties with elevated pesticide use, after accounting for factors such as smoking and poverty [1]. Other research has identified herbicides atrazine and glyphosate as substances that may promote breast cancer cell proliferation and spread [2][3]. These findings indicate that multiple chemical classes contribute to the disease, researchers said.
