Several reports have suggested an association between prematurity and hepatoblastoma (HB).
Data were collected by questionnaires from 105 children with HB enrolled in a Children's Cancer Group (CCG) study.
Observed over expected rates were increased about 2- and 15+-fold for prematurity (<37 weeks at birth) and low birth weight (<1,000 g) respectively. Similar data were derived from a later CCG study of 36 HB children.
Early reports of a possible association between prematurity and HB have been confirmed.
多项报告提示早产与肝母细胞瘤(HB)之间存在关联。
通过问卷调查收集了参加儿童癌症研究组(CCG)研究的105例HB患儿的数据。
早产(出生时<37周)和低出生体重(<1000克)的观察/预期率分别增加了约2倍和15倍以上。来自CCG后来一项对36例HB患儿的研究也得出了类似数据。
早产与HB之间可能存在关联的早期报告得到了证实。
