Pesticides exposure is a serious issue causing various kinds of damage in DNA like oxidative damage, single strand breaks, double strands breaks, increased sister chromatin exchange etc. leading to various kinds of cancer like brain, skin, lymphoma, breast etc. In agriculture, high risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals is associated with the use of pesticides. Exposure to pesticides has been associated with an increase in the incidence of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, multiple myeloma, soft tissue sarcoma, lung sarcoma, and cancer of the pancreas, stomach, liver, bladder and gall bladder, Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and reproductive outcomes. Pesticides cause oxidative-stress, which cause DNA damage. There is inter-individual variability in the polymorphisms related to oxidative-stress in farmers. Some individuals or groups in the population have favorable polymorphisms are less likely to develop disease after exposure while others, those have unfavorable polymorphisms are more likely to develop a particular disease. The requisite steps are needed to prevent foreseen health hazards like cancer and greater understanding of etiological mechanisms and opportunities for the development of new method of disease prevention. This can possibly be done by comparing and analyzing the DNA pattern of the persons in contact with the pesticides than the other ones. In this research work, the brief review related to the diseases caused by pesticide induced oxidative stress is carried out.
