Population mixing for leukaemia lymphoma and CNS tumours in teenagers and young adults in England 1996–2005

摘要

BackgroundLittle aetiological epidemiological research has been undertaken for major cancers occurring in teenagers and young adults (TYA). Population mixing, as a possible proxy for infectious exposure, has been well researched for childhood malignancies. We aimed to investigate effects of population mixing in this older age group using an English national cancer dataset.
