This week US media has been reporting on the DES lawsuit about to unfold in Boston federal court this Friday. This case involves the Melnick sisters, who will be suing drug manufacturer Eli Lilly & Co. All DES daughters, the four sisters Donna, Michele, Andrea and Francine, aside from suffering DES associated problems of miscarriages, fertility and reproductive tract problems, have all been diagnosed with breast cancer. Their case is the first among 51 other DES daughters similarly affected by breast cancer with cases pending.
