“…Hemodialysis patients have been found to have malignant neoplasms [11,12], mainly cancers of the digestive tract, significantly more frequently than healthy people (p < 0.025) [13]. Thus cancer in long-term hemodialysis patients is presently attracting much atten tion, as is also the increase in long-term hemodialyis patients since advanced hemodialytic technology is now available.…”

We report 2 cases of adult T cell leukemia (ATL) from hemodialysis (HD) patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) in the Kagoshima district, an endemic area of human T cell leukemia virus type I(HTLV-I) in Japan. The positivity of antibodies to ATL-associated antigen(anti-ATLA) in HD patients, regardless of whether or not blood transfusions were given, has been higher than in healthy persons in the district (p < 0.01). ATL is considered to break out from HTLV-I carriers. Further study should be conducted to clarify the relationship between HTLV-I infection and CRF, and moreover, attention should be directed not only to treatment of HD but accompanying ATL as well, particularly in HTLV-I-endemic areas.

“…Thus cancer in long-term hemodialysis patients is presently attracting much atten tion, as is also the increase in long-term hemodialyis patients since advanced hemodialytic technology is now available. The reason for the high incidence of malignant neoplasma in hemodialysis patients is attributed to ac companying immune disorders [13].…”
