Abstract
Data from population-based cancer registries in Europe (nine countries) wer e used to monitor the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in children aged 0-14 years over the 20 year period 1970-1990. The overall annual change in incidence was small-an increase of 0.76% annually, and there was no change at all in infants under one year of age. This differs markedly from the pat tern in adults, where quite large increases have occurred. (C) 1999 Elsevie r Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
