NCT ID NCT00352924
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study follows nearly 90,000 farmers, their spouses, and pest control workers in Iowa and North Carolina over many years. Researchers track their exposure to pesticides and other farm chemicals, then monitor who develops cancer or other diseases. The goal is to identify which exposures are most harmful, so future cancers can be prevented.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could identify which pesticides and farming practices increase cancer risk, helping to prevent future cases.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may take many more years to emerge.
