When the scientists analyzed the tissue samples, they found microplastic particles in nine out of ten tumor samples. Even ...

Medical researchers from NYU Langone Health have detected microplastics in nearly all prostate cancer tumours examined in a ...

Researchers have detected microplastics in nearly all prostate cancer tumors examined in a new study. Tumor tissue contained about 2.5 times more plastic than nearby healthy prostate tissue.

Microplastics were found in 90% of prostate tumors, with 2.5 times higher concentrations than in healthy cells. Reducing plastic exposure may help lower risk.
