[quote:~fish out of water~:MV8xNjY5MjE0XzI3NTgxNjg0X0Y5Nzk2RkMz] That's scary,OP. I wonder if that qualifies as a cancer "cluster". It seems like it should, as the incidence of cancer for that high school is hovering around slightly less than 1%. I'm certainly not an expert, but I'd be looking into possible environmental contamination, both in the high school and in the environment in general. Here are a couple of links you may find of interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cancer_clusters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancer_cluster [/quote]

This is in a student body of approximately 450 for the whole high school (we live in a VERY rural town and this is the countywide school).
WTF??? I am on the east coast, Georgia, and this is freaking me out! 1 Leukemia and 3 brain tumors.
Is anyone else seeing an uptick in cancer cases in kids in their area?
