“…Acute Lymphoid Leukemia (ALL) is more frequent (predominance rate 75%) than Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) (predominance rate 25%), and is classified according to compromised cell lineage [2]. ALL has a greater level of incidence in patients of pediatric age (<15 years old), although there is a peak in incidence after 50 years of age [811]. In contrast, AML cases occur at a very high rate in adults (80%), with a higher frequency in people aged over 65 years [2,7,8,12,13].…”

“…The immunodeficiency state caused by the disease or induced by the chemotherapy, linked to a higher susceptibility to infections, makes this neoplasm the main cause of death in developed countries and the second most common form of death by disease in developing countries [6,10,11,14,15]. The world mortality rate for leukemia patients increased by 31,6% between 2005 and 2015, however, treatment protocols have been improved throughout the years with the development of new drugs, such as Inotuzumab [16,17].…”

“…The increased risk of malignancies has been documented in pesticide-exposed farmers, workers in formaldehyde-using industries, and those exposed to dioxins. Most workers in these sectors are male, justifying the 1.4 times higher proportion of lymphoma death in this group 32,33,34,35,36 .…”

“…The highest increase of the mortality rate attributed to the capitals, if compared with the respective states, is probably due to the concentration of oncology services, since each capital represents a hub of up-level health care and assistance. We must also consider that the data collected in the medical records come mostly from self-reported information -due to the lack of specialized services in the countryside, some individuals declare as residential address that of family members or support houses located in the capitals 36 . This result may also be due to cancer transition: locations with higher socioeconomic development have higher incidence of cancers associated with westernization of habits and lifestyle, and exposure to environmental factors due to urbanization and industrialization 37 .…”

“…All interviewees in this study live in urban areas. Urbanization and industrialization contribute to environmental risk factors and socioeconomic inequalities, to which about 80% of cases of cancer are attributed [17].…”
