Research Indicates New Form Of Treating Ovarian Cancer As Talcum Powder Lawsuit Numbers Climb

November 30, 2016 – – TheProductLawyers.com reports on an article by MedicalXpress which discusses new research done at the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore that may help treat a specific aggressive ovarian cancer subtype.

The article indicates that researchers have identified a molecule called AXL which is found to trigger the spread of an aggressive form of ovarian cancer called the Mes subtype. The subtype currently has no specific treatment and the new research suggests that blocking the AXL could be effective in treating Mes subtype patients.

This is good news for those suffering with ovarian cancer, especially now that many women have come forward saying that common household products such as Johnson & Johnson’s baby powder are linked to the disease. Over the last 45 years, numerous studies have found that women who use baby powder as a feminine hygiene product are more likely to develop ovarian cancer. These powders have been the subject of thousands of lawsuits filed by plaintiffs claiming that they have suffered from ovarian cancer as a result of its use. 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.

Banville Law 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.

The firm is looking to assist those who believe they have been directly affected by the use of Johnson’s talcum powder. Affected individuals may be entitled to financial compensation and legal action. Banville Law is currently offering free consultations to individuals who qualify.
