Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epidemiology of Leukaemia and Lymphoma contains the proceedings of the Leukaemia Research Fund International Workshop held in Oxford, UK, on September 25-27, 1984. Contributors explore the epidemiology of leukemia and lymphoma based on the results of a pilot study that investigated whether careful subdivision of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) using a standardized panel of monoclonal antibodies would reveal interesting associations between subtypes and particular geographic regions or ethnic groups within regions. This book is comprised of 31 chapters divided into four sections and begins with a discussion on epidemiological approaches to hematological malignancy, paying particular attention to international data collection and interpretation; clusters and associations in cancer epidemiology; and childhood leukemia in Great Britain and the Netherlands. The next section explores the causes of human leukemia and lymphoma as well as the epidemiology of leukemia and lymphoma subtypes in various regions of the world such as Africa, Asia, United States, and Mediterranean region. The final section focuses on practical problems in standardized immunophenotyping of leukemias and lymphomas; immuno-alkaline phosphatase labeling of hematological samples; and detection of surface membrane antigens by a rosette assay using antibody coupled red cells. This monograph will be of value to clinicians and medical practitioners interested in the epidemiology of leukemia and lymphoma.

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes different perspectives of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The approach includes aspects of molecular epidemiology, particularly molecular features that influence the genesis and prognosis of the disease. Some aspects of the prognosis of lymphoblastic leukemias are very detailed, highlighting the use of molecular biology in the early identification of complications that may occur in diseased patients. The authors of the present book conform a Mexican group who identifies the causes of leukemia, and they summarize their experience in research, results and proposals for future studies. A causal model is included in which the authors hypothesized the origin of acute lymphoblastic leukemias, particularly in children. This hypothesis can be useful to better understand other cancers during childhood. This book will help the reader to identify different molecular aspects involved in leukemia, and its relation to the development and evolution of the disease.

Book excerpt: Introduction: Approximately 9% of all new malignant diagnoses in the UK are due to haematological malignancies. The acute and chronic leukaemias constitute 2.5% of all cancers and leukaemia is the 12th most common cancer registered in the UK. Approximately 7,000 people are diagnosed with the disease and more than 4,300 people die from leukaemia in the UK each year. As such, they have an important impact on the health of the public and represent a significant cost to the health care budget. Aims and objectives: The research presented in this thesis firstly aimed to quantify the incidence of, and mortality from, the acute and chronic leukaemias in the UK, and to define their associations with gender, age, socioeconomic class, calendar time, and geographic region of residence. A further aim was to determine whether the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) had a protective effect on the incidence of and mortality from these leukaemias, as has been shown to be the case for a number of other cancers. Finally, the impact of alcohol consumption on leukaemia incidence and mortality was investigated. A surprising result from the incidence and mortality studies was that survival in AML, but not other leukaemias, was worse with increasing socioeconomic deprivation. This generated an additional hypothesis surrounding potential class bias in bone marrow transplantation in these patients, a new area that was also investigated, in addition to the original aims and objectives of the research. Methods: Both general practice and hospital data were used to conduct these population-based studies. 'The Health Improvement Network' (THIN) general practice dataset was used to conduct the cohort studies of incidence and mortality, as well the case-control studies investigating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use and alcohol consumption, as potential risk factors for leukaemia. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data were used to investigate the additional hypothesis generated by results of the incidence and mortality studies, which showed that mortality in AML patients worsens with increasing socioeconomic deprivation. Results: A total of 4162 cases of leukaemia were identified, 2314 (56%) of whom were male. The overall incidence of leukaemia is 11.25 per 100,000 person-years and is independent of socioeconomic class. Median survival from leukaemia is 6.58 years and mortality increases with increasing age at diagnosis. The prognosis in AML is dismal and worsens with increasing socioeconomic deprivation, a phenomenon not seen in other leukaemias. Bone marrow transplantation declines with increasing socioeconomic deprivation (p for trend

This book was released on 2012-06-29 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late 1980s, the National Cancer Institute initiated an investigation of cancer risks in populations near 52 commercial nuclear power plants and 10 Department of Energy nuclear facilities (including research and nuclear weapons production facilities and one reprocessing plant) in the United States. The results of the NCI investigation were used a primary resource for communicating with the public about the cancer risks near the nuclear facilities. However, this study is now over 20 years old. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that the National Academy of Sciences provide an updated assessment of cancer risks in populations near USNRC-licensed nuclear facilities that utilize or process uranium for the production of electricity. Analysis of Cancer Risks in Populations near Nuclear Facilities: Phase 1 focuses on identifying scientifically sound approaches for carrying out an assessment of cancer risks associated with living near a nuclear facility, judgments about the strengths and weaknesses of various statistical power, ability to assess potential confounding factors, possible biases, and required effort. The results from this Phase 1 study will be used to inform the design of cancer risk assessment, which will be carried out in Phase 2. This report is beneficial for the general public, communities near nuclear facilities, stakeholders, healthcare providers, policy makers, state and local officials, community leaders, and the media.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childhood acute leukemias are one of the main causes of death in children aged 1 to 14 years in some countries; and unfortunately, we have been unable to prevent it. Certainly, a good parcel of it is due to the poor understanding about its etiology. This book aims to describe the most important theories and hypothesis regarding childhood acute leukemia. Written by the most outstanding researchers in the field, this book intends to contribute to a greater understanding of the etiology of this disease. It goes beyond the simple and common analysis of risk factors, which hardly allows us to draw definite conclusions. By addressing the etiology of the disease, discussing from molecular biology until epidemiology and clinical manifestations, this book will guide present and future approaches, contributing for a better clinical management of leukemia in children. The knowledge regarding etiology is a crucial step for a better evaluation, prevention and treatment of a disease. Thus, this book finally intends to provide such knowledge, allowing physicians and practitioners to a better manage of childhood acute leukemias.
