Summary

This long-term study aims to understand why farmers and their families may have higher risks for certain cancers, like prostate cancer and lymphoma. Researchers are following about 90,000 pesticide applicators and their spouses in Iowa and North Carolina, collecting information on their work, exposures, and health over many years. The goal is to identify specific farming-related factors, such as pesticide use, that might increase disease risk to help inform future prevention efforts.
