Leukaemia is Britain's biggest
child killer disease. The incidence of leukaemia and some other childhood cancers in developed
nations has been rising at around 1 to 3% per year for the
past 50 years. This international five-day meeting examined environmental
and other life factors affecting the incidence of childhood leukaemia
and other cancers. It explored the latest thinking on possible mechanisms
of action across a range of scientific disciplines. Topics included
the effects of ionising and non-ionising radiation, pollutants in air
and food, infections and modern lifestyles. It also compared how the
precautionary principle is applied to different hazards and identified
future research priorities.
This leading-edge conference
on the latest world research was intended for scientific and medical professionals.
In addition to invited talks from world-leading scientists, posters were
of critical importance.
