Brief Summary

This study is a case-control study investigating the causes of childhood leukemia in Northern California. The overall purpose of this epidemiologic study is to find specific genetic or environmental factors that may increase the risk of leukemia in children. The study is being conducted by Patricia Buffler, PhD at the School of Public Health - University of California Berkeley in collaboration with the California Department of Health Services and 16 hospitals located throughout the state of California. The study began in 1995 and will continue to 2014.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Outcome of study

    Using a case-control study design, we are studying the role of environmental and genetic factors in the etiology of a rare cancer in a vulnerable and ethnically diverse population, using an integrated multi-disciplinary approach to improve disease classification and exposure assessment.

Eligibility Criteria

Age1 Day - 14 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Children diagnosed with leukemia and matched controls

Cases must be children ages 0-14 newly diagnosed with leukemia (any type) at one of participating hospitals. They must live in the state of California at diagnosis, never have been diagnosed with a prior cancer and have a parent or guardian that speaks English or Spanish. Controls are matched on the case child's DOB, gender, mother's race, parent's Hispanicity. In order to be eligible, they must have no history of cancer, have a parent or guardian that speaks English or Spanish and they must live in the state of California.
