Initial Alarms on Humans!
l 1952 Dieckmann Study:l 2000 enrolled females testedl 1000 received DES l Treated women had HIGHER INCIDENCE of
miscarriage!l * Estimation: 2-4 million women received DES treatment
in USA

l Reported seven cases of clear cell adenocarcinoma in “Adolescent girls” and “Young Women”

Other Studies
l Colton et. al., 1960l Reported slightly increased risk of breast cancer
treated with DESl Titus-Ernstoff et. al., 2001l Modest association of DES exposure and breast
cancerl Hatch et. al.,l Reported CAA in DES in-utero exposed daughtersl CAA risk increased between age 7-19, falls 30-39 and
increased at above 40 years

Studies on third generation women exposed to DES
l 1997: 2/2539 daughters reported Ovarian Cancer at age 7 and 20
years.l 2001: 2/463 exposed daughter's offspring
reported ovarian cancer.l No incidence of male specific cancer reported in third generation
