Hypothesis: glyphosate-based herbicides can increase risk of hematopoietic malignancies through extended persistence in bone by Charles M. Benbrook

“…Animal bioassays and epidemiology studies link GLY/GBH exposures to heightened risk of blood cancers, and possibly other pathologies. The hypothesis proposed here provides a plausible pathophysiologic basis for these observations relative, in particular, to blood cancers.…”

Detection of The TNFSF Members BAFF, APRIL, TWEAK and Their Receptors in Normal Kidney and Renal Cell Carcinomas by Vassiliki Pelekanou, George Notas, Katerina Theodoropoulou, Marilena Kampa, Dimitrios Takos, Vassilia-Ismini Alexaki, Jelena Radojicic, Frank Sofras, Andreas Tsapis, Efstathios N. Stathopoulos, Elias Castanas

“…We observed a differential expression of these TNFSF ligands and receptors in cancerous and non-cancerous structures. BAFF was found in all RCC; APRIL expression is associated with an aggressive phenotype, correlating negatively with patients' disease-free survival, while TWEAK and its receptor Fn14 are heterogeneously expressed, correlating negatively with the grade and survival of RCC patients. …”
