'Many lives ruined by this pregnancy drug'
Nottingham Post
|February 09, 2026
VICTIMS of a cancer-linked pregnancy drug will meet with Health Secretary Wes Streeting today as part of a push to get a public inquiry into what they describe as a “silent scandal”.
-
DES Justice UK (DJUK) is also calling for the creation of an NHS screening programme to identify those who may be at risk from exposure to diethylstilbestrol, commonly known as DES.
The campaign group now has more than 500 members and includes women who took the drug, but also their daughters, sons and granddaughters who have suffered issues such as infertility, reproductive abnormalities and increased risk of cancer.
DES - a synthetic form of the female hormone oestrogen - was prescribed to pregnant women from 1940 to the 1970s.
