As Ovarian Cancer Becomes Prevalent In Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings, T-Cells May Aid In Treatment

September 29, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent article by cancernetwork which discusses the use of T-cells in treating ovarian cancer.

The source said that a laboratory study found that follicle-stimulating hormone receptors (FSHRs) are present in many ovarian tumors, and not in normal ovarian tissue, which represents a promising therapeutic target in terms of treating ovarian cancer. The study suggested that the therapy may be used in the future following other treatments to help prevent the recurrence of cancer.

Treatment of ovarian cancer has become increasingly important given the attention the disease has received with the growing number of talcum powder lawsuits. Many women have claimed that they have gotten the life-threatening disease after using Johnson & Johnson’s talcum powder products.The first talcum powder lawsuit was filed in 2009 by a woman from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2006 when she was 49 years old, according to an article by Huffington Post. She had allegedly used Johnson & Johnson powder for feminine hygiene purposes for many years.The plaintiff filed the complaint claiming Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for gross negligence and fraud. Though a jury confirmed the association between cancer and talcum powder, the plaintiff was offered no compensatory damages.

Thousands of plaintiffs have filed suits so far concerning the alleged effects of these powders. Many 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.
