Africa: Rise in Childhood Brain Tumors
Idowu OE, Idowu MA. Environmental causes of childhood brain tumours. Afr Health Sci. 2008 Mar;8(1):1-4. PubMed PMID: 19357723
Something new in the world, and not welcome.
From the summary:
No likely causes are verified. Investigation most warranted."Brain tumours hitherto said to be rare in Africans are now known to be common. They cause considerable concern due to their relatively high morbidity, mortality and enormous cost of care, especially in the developing world."
