How Long Does It Take for Roundup to Cause Breast Cancer?
Breast Cancer from Roundup Is Found with People Exposed to Glyphosate Over Time
Studies found that there is a higher incidence of breast cancer in people with routine and consistent exposure to glyphosate over time. For example, farmer’s wives who were exposed to glyphosate from working in the fields have a higher risk of breast cancer than people in the general population. Unfortunately, glyphosate is shown to be a herbicide that can accumulate in the human body, and that exposure can create cancers and leukemia in people exposed to this toxic chemical.2 There is no one measure of time that it can take to develop breast cancer from Roundup, because the accumulation of glyphosates in Roundup add up in the body to form cancers over time.
An exposure to Roundup can take place over days, weeks or years, and your incidence of breast cancer can develop from this exposure over months to years following the exposure to Roundup chemicals.

Why Does Roundup Exposure Cause Breast Cancer?
Many studies have shown a relationship between Roundup exposure and the incidence of breast cancer among women exposed to glyphosate over time. This means that people exposed to Roundup and other agrochemicals have a higher risk of developing cancers as glyphosate is a known human carcinogen that is genotoxic to humans.1
What Other Cancers Can Roundup Cause to the Human Body?
The active ingredient in Roundup is glyphosate, and it is known to cause many different types of cancers in the human body. The list of cancers is exhaustive, but some of the most common forms of cancers and reproductive complications that are caused by exposure to glyphosate can include:3
- Breast cancer
- Thyroid cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Kidney cancer
- Bladder cancer
- Myeloid cancer
- Malignancies
- Liver cancer
- Leukemias
- Miscarriages
- Premature births
- Non-lymphomas
- Hodgkin’s disease
The reason that glyphosate causes cancers is because it creates carcinogenicity and genotoxicity in the human body. This is another way to say that the cancers develop a pathology all their own, and the “bad” cells start to proliferate often before a person realizes that the toxic chemicals are making the situation worse over time. The active ingredient glyphosate binds to human macro- and micronutrients to prevent a plant weed from growing. Unfortunately, in the human body, the glyphosate wrecks-havoc on our human systems too, by affecting our human organs causing reproductive toxins or mutagens that disrupt our natural bodily functions.
