Article Synopsis
- Epidemiological studies on acute leukemia (AL) risk factors in infants are limited, but maternal diet during pregnancy may play a crucial role in influencing the occurrence of AL in offspring.
- A case-control study conducted in Mexico City from 2010 to 2019 analyzed maternal dietary habits in 109 infants with AL compared to 252 matched controls, using food frequency questionnaires.
- Results indicated that higher consumption of allium vegetables was linked to a reduced risk of AL, while high-fat dairy products were associated with an increased risk, highlighting the potential impact of maternal nutrition on infant health.
Purpose: We analyzed the epidemiologic characteristics of different types of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), excluding Burkitt Lymphoma, in 2 Mexican regions with different socioeconomic status.
Materials And Methods: In this surveillance study, we analyzed the incidence rates (cases per million children/year) of different types of NHL according to the ICCC3, registered in 1996-2015, from 2 different socioeconomic regions in Mexico: central and southern, with higher and lower status, respectively.
Results: The principal NHL subgroups were precursor (IIb1), mature B cell (IIb2), mature T/NK cell, and no other specification (NOS; 42.
Article Synopsis
- Mexico City has a high incidence and mortality rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with a noted rise in childhood obesity, which is linked to worse outcomes in these patients.
- A study analyzed 1,070 children under 15 diagnosed with ALL to determine if obesity/overweight predicted early mortality and relapse within the first 24 months.
- Results indicated that being overweight or obese at diagnosis significantly increased the risk of early mortality, but there was no strong association found between these conditions and early relapse rates.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of childhood cancer worldwide. Mexico City has one of the highest incidences and mortality rates of this cancer. It has previously been recognized that chromosomal translocations are important in cancer etiology.
