The causes and incidence of haematological malignancies

Article Abstract:

Malignant disease is the result of abnormal cell growth. Haematological malignancy is a malignant disease of which the most well-know form is leukaemia. Although all the causes of leukaemia are not yet known, it is agreed that ionising radiation, smoking and exposure to certain chemicals are implicated in many cases of haematological malignancy. Details of research into childhood leukaemia are presented, plus current knowledge about the causes and incidence of haematological malignancies.
