Objective: The objective of this study was to determine if there is an additional risk of developing Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or soft tissue sarcoma as a consequence of exposure to a combination of phenoxyherbicides, rubber gloves, DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), and sunlight compared with each of the individual chemicals.
Methods: This was a population-based study of men with specific cancers and age, province-matched control subjects.
Results: No additional risk from these combinations of exposures of developing these three types of tumor was found in contrast to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Conclusions: The mechanisms by which phenoxyherbicides contribute to the risk of multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma may be different.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable and patients eventually face the relapse/refractory dilemma. B cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeted immunotherapeutic approaches have shown great effectiveness in patients with relapsed/refractory MM, mainly including chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T), bispecific T cell engagers (TCEs), and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). However, their impact on long-term survival remains to be determined.

Background: Almost all multiple myeloma (MM) patients will eventually develop disease that has relapsed with or become refractory to current therapeutic regimes. However, the pervious clinical parameters have been proved inaccurate for defining MM relapse, and molecular targets have become the focuses of interests. Prognostic predictions based on molecular targets have been more effective to this day.
