Abstract
A seasonal variation in onset of Burkitt's lymphoma has been observed in an epidemiological study in the West Nile District of Uganda. About 80% more cases occur in the second half of the year than in the first half. This points to the existence of an environmental factor which contributes to tumour causation after a relatively short latent period.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
