Article Synopsis
- Acute leukemias (AL) are a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in children under 20 in Mexico, particularly noted in the central-south region, which has been previously understudied compared to Greater Mexico City.
- A population-based study conducted from 2021-2022 identified 388 new cases of AL among children in Puebla, Tlaxcala, and Oaxaca, calculating various incidence rates using demographic data.
- The overall age-standardized incidence rate was around 51.5 cases per million children, with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia being the most prevalent subtype, revealing trends and differences in leukemia incidence among the states.
