Space-time clustering analyses of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia by immunophenotype

Abstract

Space-time clustering analyses of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children, by immunophenotype, were carried out using a population-based registry. Significant evidence was found of space-time clustering for cases of the precursor B-cell sub-type, in the childhood peak, based on time and location at birth. © 2002 Cancer Research UK.
