Combination Treatment For Ovarian Cancer Could Be Good News For Plaintiffs In Talcum Powder Lawsuit

November 08, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on a recent article by News Medical Life Sciences about a new combination treatment for ovarian cancer that may reduce a tumor’s resistance to chemotherapy and help improve long-term survival rates.

The article states that treating ovarian cancer can be a challenge because platinum-based chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin are initially very effective but that most patients who respond to the drugs quickly become resistant to chemotherapy and may not respond as well later. However, researchers at the Wistar Institute have found that a combination of drugs can be used with cisplatin to reduce the tumor’s resistance and help with the effectiveness.

Ovarian cancer has become a highlighted issue lately after many women have claimed that they developed the disease after using Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder and other talc products. Plaintiffs have claimed in over a thousand cases nationwide that the powders are directly linked to the development of ovarian cancer after having used them as a feminine hygiene product for several years. These plaintiffs argue that Johnson & Johnson should be held accountable for negligence and fraud after they made no attempt to issue a warning or stop production amid claims that the products are dangerous.

Though Johnson & Johnson has fiercely defended their stance that the products have no link to cancer, three juries have since found otherwise. The pharmaceutical giant has been made to pay millions in settlements after three cases determined that the company should pay damages to plaintiffs who suffered severely from the use of their powders.

As these cases are expected to grow in number, Banville Law is seeking to help those currently suffering. The firm has many years of experience fighting large pharmaceutical companies who have put dangerous drugs and devices onto the market, foregoing public safety for corporate greed.
