- New Research Suggests Link between Maternal Diet and Childhood Leukemia Risk
A new study suggests that eating more vegetables, fruit and protein before pregnancy may lower the risk of having a child who develops leukemia, the most common childhood cancer in the United States. "This is the first time researchers have conducted a systematic survey of a woman's diet and linked it to the risk of childhood leukemia," said Dr. Kenneth Olden, director of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the federal agency that funded the study. NIEHS is a component of...

- Protein Loss Plays Role in Acute T-cell Leukemia
The loss of a key protein (Smad3) in a pathway that helps prevent tumors from forming is specific to one form of childhood leukemia, but not to other pediatric and adult forms of leukemia, according to a new study published in the August 5, 2004, New England Journal of Medicine*. The study was done by scientists at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and gives researchers new insights into how leukemias vary on a molecular level. Smad3 is an...
