The research published in the British Journal of Canc
44、er backs up a 1988 theory that some as-yet unidentified infection caused leukaemianot the environmental factors widely blamed for the disease.“Childhood leukaemia appears to be an unusual result of a common infection,“ said Sir Richard Doll, an internationally-known cancer expert who first linked to

The Newcastle University research by Heather Dickinson and Louise Parker showed the cluster of cases could have been predicted because of the mount of population mixing going on in the area, as large numbers of construction workers and nuclear staff moved into a rural setting. “Our study shows that population mixing can account for the (Sellafield) leukaemia cluster and that all children, whether their parents are newcomers or locals, are at a higher risk if they are born i
