DES (diethylstilbestrol) was a synthetic hormone drug that was prescribed to pregnant women to prevent miscarriages. The drug was known to cause cancer and other abnormalities in laboratory animals as early as the 1940's but was still approved by the FDA. The drug was widely available to women as a "wonder drug" until 1971 when the FDA issued an alert against the drug. Women who had used DES were developing a rare form of cancer and it since has been discovered that the children of women using DES were also developing a rare form of cancer and other reproductive problems.
