Is the 2013 Boston Case the first major Litigation alleging a Link between DES and Breast Cancer in DES Daughters?

” The characteristics of my cancer were for women over 60 typically. It wasn’t the type of cancer a 40-year-old or a 44-year-old woman gets.
When I read the research that’s been done, I found I had more chance of getting it because my mom took DES ”

said Arline MacCormack, one of 53 women from the USA who are suing Eli Lilly manufacturer of the DES drug.

DES and Breast Cancer

A breast cancer survivor, Jackie, reports on her DES journey.
Jackie White is one of 53 women who is bringing the DES Breast Cancer lawsuit in Boston against the maker of the drug DES (diethylstilbestrol) prescribed to millions of women decades ago.

According to a large study, DES, the anti-miscarriage drug used in the USA until 1971 but also used in Australia and many European countries well after 1971, has been linked to health problems — including breast cancer, infertility, difficult pregnancies and early menopause — in the daughters and the granddaughters of women who took it.

The study suggests that one in 50 DES daughters had the chance of developing breast cancer due to their DES exposure.
