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

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

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 a...

Description
Summary: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.
