Thyroid carcinoma in childhood in Great Britain.
Carcinoma of the thyroid in childhood is a rare condition, and after an extensive search only seven cases have been found in Great Britain. In 1920 Hughes dissected enlarged cervical glands in a 13-year-old girl; the glands were found to be invaded by papilliferous thyroid carcinoma and thyroidectomy was done. The child was well three months later. Moncrieff and Poynton (1929) reported the case...
متن کاملChildhood cancers: space-time distribution in Britain.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine a national data set of all childhood cancers for evidence of space-time interactions within three distinct sets of dates and places (at birth, at diagnosis, and at death), to show whether the patterns found for these events represent separate phenomena or statistically interdependent processes, and to see whether the childhood leukaemias and the childhood solid cance...
متن کاملHazard proximities of childhood cancers in Great Britain from 1953-80.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Firstly, to examine relationships between the birth and death addresses of children dying from leukaemia and cancer in Great Britain, and the sites of potential environmental hazards; and secondly to measure relative case densities close to, and at increasing distances from, different hazard types. DESIGN Home address postcodes (PCs) and their map coordinates were identified ...
متن کاملCross-space-time clustering of childhood cancer in Great Britain: Evidence for a common aetiology
Previously, we identified space-time clustering in certain childhood cancers. This study aimed to determine whether there was cross-space-time clustering between different diagnostic groups. A total of 32,295 cases were diagnosed during 1969-1993. Cross-space-time clustering was analyzed by a second-order procedure based on Diggle's method. Locations were birth and diagnosis addresses. The foll...
متن کاملSpatial epidemiology and pattern analysis of childhood cancers in Tehran, Iran
Identification of cancer clusters may have an important value to the study of disease etiology in cancer surveillance. We aimed to determine the spatial pattern of childhood cancer cases (CCCs) from 2007 to 2009 in Tehran, Iran. Records of 176 childhood cancer counts (children younger than 15 years old) for 2007-2009 were obtained from Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education. Thereafter...
