Dodds eventually developed a structurally similar compound, diethylstilbestrol (DES), which was used as a synthetic estrogen drug in women and animals until it was banned due to its risk of causing cancer; the ban on use of DES in humans came in 1971 and in animals, in 1979.
Dods je kasnije razvio Dietilstilbestrol (DES), koji se koristio kao sintetički estrogen za žene i životinje dok nije zabranjen zbog povećanog rizika od raka; zabrana upotrebe DES na ljudima je uvedena 1971-e a na životinjama 1979-e.
