Parental Exposure to Carcinogens and Risk for Childhood ALL
Study was conducted by Castro-Jiménez et.al, to determine the risk factors for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and, in particular, the role of parental occupational exposure to carcinogenic and probably carcinogenic hydrocarbons before the child’s conception.
Findings suggest an association between childhood ALL and parental occupational exposure to carcinogenic and probably carcinogenic hydrocarbons before conception.
