A Significant Breakthrough in the Incidence of Childhood Cancers and Evaluation of its Risk Factors in Southern Iran.

ticles from France and Mexico have also reported incidences as high as 156.6 versus 150.3 per million, respectively.[ 14 , 15 ] Another study conducted in India, in 2008, showed age-standardized rates for all childhood cancers of 127 per million for boys and 88 per million for girls and also stated a decreasing trend in incidence rates.[ 16 ] However, our results seem not to be comparable with the above results due to the fact that our data were collected from a limited area of the country (Southern Iran) which includes only 5% of the pediatric population of the republic, therefore, we cannot generalize these statics to the overall pediatric population of Iran.
