Abstract | |||
We are conducting an analysis of the recent international childhood leukemia and lymphoma incidence patterns using Cancer Incidence in Five Continents Volume X data recently published online by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France. Incidence rates are being calculated by 5-year age groups 0-19 and age-adjusted using the world standard. We are also assessing the temporal trends in those areas where quality data are available. " |
