Leukemia in twins: antenatal and postnatal factors.

L Keith, E R Brown, B Ames, M Stotsky, D M Keith.   

Abstract

Two factors emerged from a search for obstetric phenomena that might explain concordance of leukemia in both members of a twin pair within days or months of each other: antenatal exposure to ionizing radiation; and antenatal cojoined intrauterine circulation. In addition, antenatal tumor metastasis and chromosomal changes, antenatal or postnatal, may be contributory. Continued observation of reports should be carried out.
