Roundup itself does not cause cancer but an ingredient in it does. That ingredient is glyphosate and it is a suspected carcinogen according to the World Health Organization. As with all carcinogens glyphosate disrupts and alters cellular metabolism. It also damages DNA inside the cell which negatively impacts biological processes. This disruption interferes with biological processes within the effected cells. The unbridled and rapid proliferation of cells leads to tumors i.e. cancer.
