Abstract

An examination of Scottish cancer registration data over two five-year periods (1968-72, and 1973-77) shows a rise of about 1 1/2 times in incidence of acute myeloid leukaemia between the two periods. This finding is similar to that reported earlier in Lancashire. The increase has occurred at all ages, in all social classes, and in all parts of the country. Reasons why this increase is partially real are given.

摘要

对两个五年期（1968 - 1972年和1973 - 1977年）的苏格兰癌症登记数据进行检查后发现，两个时期之间急性髓细胞白血病的发病率上升了约1.5倍。这一发现与早些时候在兰开夏郡报告的情况相似。这种增加在所有年龄段、所有社会阶层以及该国所有地区都有发生。文中给出了这种增加部分是真实情况的原因。
