A study of the time separations from one case of leukemia to another in the same small geographic area revealed no clear evidence that such cases tend to occur at fixed time intervals. Such spacing of cases was not evident even when separate analyses were made by leukemia age group (childhood or adult leukemia) or by urbanization of area (urban or rural).
