Blood Cancer Journal – No association seen between exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields and risk of relapse or overall survival in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
In a collaborative study led by IARC’s Section of Environment and Radiation and the Danish Cancer Society Research Center, published online in Blood Cancer Journal today, researchers investigated whether exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields (50/60 Hz), as occurs for instance in the vicinity of high-voltage power lines, increases the risk of relapse in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) or has an impact on their survival probability.
