“…These results are consistent with the results of the ECLIS study (Parkin et aL, 1993(Parkin et aL, , 1996 in which data on the incidence of childhood (0-14 years) leukaemia in the period 1980-1991 from 36 cancer registries in 23 European countries were analysed by level of radiation dose and time. Although a slight increase in leukaemia rates was found in the post-accident period (1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991) compared with the baseline (1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986), the overall geographical pattern of change bears no relation to estimated exposure to radiation resulting from the accident.…”

“…Outside the 3 most affected states of Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, activities to evaluate or mitigate the consequences of the accident have mainly been carried out at local or national levels [apart from the European Childhood Leukaemia and Lymphoma Incidence Study (ECLIS; Parkin et al, 1993Parkin et al, , 1996 and the study of the European Registration of Congenital Anomalies and Twins (EUROCAT EUROCAT Working Group, 19911. These studies have focused on various possible health consequences of the accident, ranging from changes in birth rates to adult cancer.…”

“…A number of studies have examined the link between this type of cancer and the radiation emission from Chernobyl. The European Childhood Leukemia-Lymphoma Study (ECLIS) was based on the existing data from cancer registries in Europe, Belarus and Russia and also on the national incidences reported in those countries [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

The Chernobyl accident that occurred 30 years ago was one of the worst nuclear disasters ever. Although it's effects have been the subject of several articles, the role of its repercussions in the etiology of hematological disorders is not clearly revealed. Studies have shown a causal relationship between radiation exposure and the incidence of thyroid cancers but in the case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia a correlation could not have been made. However, due to its increasing incidence, there seems to be differences between adult and in utero exposure. Through its geographical position, Romania was affected especially in the North East region. We present the case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia of a patient from Iasi with exposure during pregnancy, post-partum period and the effects on her and the fetus.

“…Alongside the scientific studies reported above it should be noted that the ECLIS study 20,21 and others have monitored childhood leukaemia and cancer in areas contaminated to lesser extents by the Chernobyl disaster. No evidence of increases have been reported except for thyroid cancer and infant leukaemia 22 but the causal nature of the latter association is unclear.…”

Unexplained clusters of childhood leukaemia have generated concern that they may be causally related to environmental exposure to ionising radiation. The workshop provides in-depth examination of the aetiology of childhood leukaemia, patterns of clustering exhibited by cases and the influence of exposure to ionising radiation. Special attention has been focussed on the EUROCLUS study of clustering of childhood leukaemia and monitoring of populations exposed to contamination following the Chernobyl accident. There is insufficient evidence to conclude that environmental ionising radiation exposure is a causative agent for small clusters such as that reported in the vicinity of the Krü mmel nuclear facility
