Post-investigation follow-up report on the cluster of pediatric leukemia cases in the Pont-de-l’Arche area (27) between 2020 and 2022

Key Points

  • No new cases of leukemia diagnosed in children between 2020 and 2022 in the monitored areas

  • A decrease in incidence that is not statistically different from the national incidence over the 2017–2022 period

  • Strengthening of the main hypothesis regarding the cluster’s occurrence: a random fluctuation in the number of cases without a localized common risk factor

  • Discontinuation of epidemiological monitoring in the identified areas, with continued national surveillance of pediatric cancers provided by the National Registry of Childhood Cancers
