Abstract

Objective: To measure the incidence rate and trend of acute leukemia (AL) in political districts of Mexico City.

Material and methods: Descriptive longitudinal study conducted at six hospitals that care for nearly 97.5% of all cancer cases among children in Mexico City. Study data were collected in 1995 and 1996, and were analyzed in 1999, at the National Medical Center "Siglo XXI" Children's Hospital, of the Mexican Institute for Social Security. Calculations of acute leukemia annual incidence rates, standardized rates, and standardized morbidity rates (SMR) with 95% confidence intervals, were obtained for each district. Morbidity trends were assessed through average change rates.

Results: In this study we observed an increasing trend of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) incidence in five districts: Alvaro Obregon, Cuauhtemoc, Gustavo A. Madero, Iztacalco, and Venustiano Carranza. Acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) showed no significantly statistic increase of incidence in any district. AML did show a significant SMR in Alvaro Obregon district (SMR = 2.91, 95% CI 1.63-4.80). Higher SMRs were found in the south and southwest areas of the city.

Conclusions: Increasing incidence of ALL was observed in five districts of Mexico City. AML incidence was the highest in Alvaro Obregon district.
