Long-Term Side Effects: A Look At Lasting Conditions Of Ovarian Cancer As Talcum Powder Lawsuit Filings Build

October 31, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on long-term side effects that can result from ovarian cancer treatment.

Healthline stated in an article on ovarian cancer that several long-term side effects can occur as a result of being treated for the disease. These effects can include kidney damage, nerve damage, and bone marrow damage. Kidney damage can occur after patients are put on a specific type of chemotherapy called cisplatin. Though measures can be taken to prevent damage, they are not always successful. The same type of chemotherapy, along with taxanes, can also cause nerve damage. It may include numbness, stinging, tingling or pain in the extremities. Though bone marrow damage is rare with chemotherapy, damage can lead to the development of bone marrow cancer, the article states.

Ovarian cancer has become a big topic of discussion recently after thousands of lawsuits were filed against companies such as Johnson & Johnson for the disease’s alleged link to their talcum powder products. Numerous studies have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. Johnson & Johnson has maintained denial in these claims and has previously stated that there is no link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The company has never released a warning about the potential risks of its Johnson’s Baby Powder and Shower-To-Shower products.

Several plaintiffs 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.
