“…This distinctive pattern of occurrence for leukaemias and lymphomas in Southern Europe had been observed earlier. Furthermore, different childhood populationbased studies in the USA (Wilkinson et al, 2001(Wilkinson et al, , 2002(Wilkinson et al, , 2005Li et al, 2008) show a higher incidence of ALL and acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) (Douer et al, 1996 in Hispanic/Latino children compared with nonHispanic populations.…”

The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of leukaemias and lymphomas in children according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer third edition (ICCC-3) in the population covered by the Girona, Valencia, and Zaragoza population-based cancer registries and compare it with the incidence rates in other European countries. All haematological malignancies (HMs) registered between 1993 and 2002 in children below 15 years of age were included in the study. Pathological and haematological diagnoses were reviewed, recoded according to International Classification of Diseases for Oncology-3 and reclassified on the basis of ICCC-3. Sex and age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated, using the world population as standard. Five hundred and seventy-one HMs were registered in the Girona, Valencia and Zaragoza Cancer Registries during the study period. According to ICCC-3, precursor cell leukaemias were the most frequent HMs in children and constituted 60% of all HMs (an age-adjusted incidence rate of 42.7 per million children-years). The second most frequent childhood HM was Hodgkin lymphoma (11.2% of all HMs), yielding an age-adjusted standardized incidence rate of 6.3 per million children-years. With regard to myeloid lineage, acute myeloid leukaemias were the most frequent with a rate of 7.9 per million children-years. The standardized incidence rates for lymphoid leukaemia (1.19) and Burkitt lymphoma (3.94) were statistically higher than the rates observed in Europe. Compared with European data, Spain has a high incidence of lymphoid leukaemias and lymphomas. In particular, a high incidence of Burkitt lymphoma was observed. The causes of this geographical variation are still unknown.

“…This is similar to data published by IMSS for the years 1996-2002 6 , determining the figure to be 5.5/100,000 and more recently for the years 2006-2007 2 , with the figure of 5.7/100,000. It is surprising that the high incidence reported for children from Mexico City and Costa Rica 22 , and for Hispanic children in Florida 23 and Los Angeles 24 in the USA is of lymphoid leukemia. This finding is interesting because 52 .…”

Background: Acute leukemia is the most common cancer in childhood. Analyzing the spatial distribution of acute leukemia may generate the identification of risk factors. Objective: To study the incidence rate of acute leukemia, its geographic distribution, and cluster detection in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Mexico. Methods: We included children under 15 years of age diagnosed with acute leukemia during the period 2010-2014 in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara. Each case was geo-referenced to street level to latitude and longitude coordinates using Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS). Spatial clusters were found in the location of the acute leukemia cases applying the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm with R statistical software. Results: A total of 269 cases of leukemia were registered, 227 (84%) were acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 42 (16%) acute myeloblastic leukemia. The mean age was 6 ± 4 years. The mean incidence of acute leukemia was 6.44 cases/100,000 inhabitants: El Salto 10.12/100,000, Guadalajara 7.55/100,000, and Tlaquepaque 6.74/100,000. The DBSCAN found three clusters, all located within the municipality of Guadalajara. Conclusions: The incidence of acute leukemia in our population is higher than that in Canada and the USA. We found three spatial clusters of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the municipality of Guadalajara, suggesting the presence of local predisposing factors. (REV INVES CLIN. 2017;69:159-65)

“…This finding is in agreement with reports of high rates of childhood ALL among Hispanic children in California and Florida [9,30], but differs from observations of similar rates among Hispanic and non-Hispanic white children in New Mexico [31]. This analysis is among the first to show age patterns of ALL in adult Hispanics as compared to non-Hispanics.…”
