The study, published today in the special issue on childhood cancer of the <em>Pan American Journal of Public Health<\/em>, shows that children aged 0\u201314 years in Latin America and the Caribbean have a higher incidence of lymphoma compared with the combined global data. The lymphoma excess may be explained by increased exposure of young children to certain viruses that are linked with lymphoma and are common in Latin America and the Caribbean: Epstein\u2013Barr virus, Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus, and human T-lymphotropic virus.<\/p>\r\n<p>De Paula Silva N, Colombet M, Moreno F, Erdmann F, Dolya A, Pi\u00f1eros M, et al.<br \/>\r\nIncidence of childhood cancer in Latin America and the Caribbean: coverage, patterns, and time trends<br \/>\r\n<em>Rev Panam Salud Publica<\/em>.
