Risks of childhood cancer among Texas watersheds, based on mothers' living locations at the time of birth

Abstract: Cancer is the most common fatal disease among US children. The fetus has reduced resistance to toxic injury and is especially prone to mutagenic injury because of the high rate of cell division.A fetus can be exposed to environmental toxins through maternal consumption of contaminated water. The objective of this study was to estimate the incidence risk for childhood cancers within each watershed in Texas. The approach modeled risk for 19 cancer histotypes incorporating correlations among the cancer types and … Show more

“…La información sobre la población estudiada y el grado de exposición a los contaminantes fue muy heterogénea: mientras en unos estudios se precisaba bien la edad, el sexo, el tiempo de exposición y la dosis de exposición (16,28), en otros no se aportaban datos suficientes (18,26). La mayor población estudiada fue de 3 805 745 nacimientos (14) y la menor, de 56 personas (20).…”

“…Tres estudios llevados a cabo en los Estados Unidos (14,17,19) evaluaron la contaminación por distintos compuestos químicos no permitidos en el ACH. En uno de ellos (14), realizado en 208 cuencas hidrográficas del norte de Texas, se valoró el riesgo para distintos tipos de cáncer infantil en relación con la exposición desde el nacimiento a la contaminación con plaguicidas agrícolas arsenicales y herbicidas a través del ACH; se encontró que había un mayor riesgo en ocho de las cuencas investigadas.…”
