Genetic and nongenetic risk factors for childhood cancer.

Pediatric clinics of North America - 1 Feb 2015

Spector Logan G, Pankratz Nathan, Marcotte Erin L

Abstract excerpt

The causes of childhood cancer have been systematically studied for decades, but apart from high-dose radiation and prior chemotherapy there are few strong external risk factors. However, inherent risk factors including birth weight, parental age, and congenital anomalies are consistently associated with most types of pediatric cancer. Recently the contribution of common genetic variation to etiology has come...
