## Abstract Previous studies have provided evidence that infections may play a part in the aetiology of certain childhood cancers. The finding of space‐time clustering indicates the presence of an environmental component to aetiology and is especially supportive of a role for infections. Space‐time
## Abstract The aetiology of most childhood solid tumours (other than central nervous system [CNS] tumours) is unclear. To investigate whether certain environmental exposures may be involved, we have analysed for space‐time clustering using population‐based data from North West England for the peri
