"Glyphosate exposure increases cancer risk."
Evidence4
IARC classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic to humans after reviewing human, animal, and lab evidence.
In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), part of WHO, evaluated glyphosate in Monographs Volume 112.
The working group placed glyphosate in Group 2A, which means probably carcinogenic to humans.
The decision was based on limited evidence in humans, sufficient evidence in experimental animals, and strong mechanistic evidence such as genotoxic effects.

A 2019 meta-analysis of six studies found the highest glyphosate-exposure groups had about 41% higher non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk.
This peer-reviewed meta-analysis combined the best available epidemiology on glyphosate and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The authors focused on the highest-exposure groups to estimate risk where dose was greatest.
Their pooled result indicated about 41% higher non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk in the highest-exposed populations.

A pooled AGRICOH analysis of 316,270 farmers found no overall non-Hodgkin lymphoma increase, but reported about 36% higher risk for one lymphoma subtype.
This International Journal of Epidemiology paper pooled data from farming cohorts in France, Norway, and the United States.
Across 316,270 participants and 2,430 non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases, overall non-Hodgkin lymphoma risk was not clearly elevated for glyphosate users.
For diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the pooled estimate was about 36% higher in ever-users, though subgroup findings were less precise than the overall result.

California added glyphosate to Proposition 65's cancer list in 2017, reflecting a state-level hazard determination.
California''s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment lists glyphosate under Proposition 65 as a chemical known to the state to cause cancer.
The listing became effective in July 2017 after legal review and hazard evaluation processes.
This is a hazard listing, which signals possible cancer concern but does not by itself estimate personal risk at a specific exposure level.
