The ovarian cancer risk from herbicide exposure has been studied in a hospital-based, case-control study after some of these compounds have been shown to be carcinogenic for animals. This study includes 60 cases of primary mesothelial ovarian tumors and 127 controls with non-ovarian malignancies drawn from the same file and matched by year of diagnosis, age and residence. A positive association (relative risk 4.38) has been found between herbicide exposure and ovarian mesotheliomas.
在一些除草剂化合物已被证明对动物具有致癌性之后，一项基于医院的病例对照研究对接触除草剂引发卵巢癌的风险进行了研究。该研究纳入了60例原发性间皮性卵巢肿瘤病例和127例非卵巢恶性肿瘤对照，这些对照取自同一档案，并按照诊断年份、年龄和居住地进行匹配。研究发现，除草剂接触与卵巢间皮瘤之间存在正相关（相对风险为4.38）。
