Abstract
Since adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) was first proposed as a new disease by Takatsuki and associates (Takatsuki etal. 1977; Uchiyama etal. 1977) in Kyoto, we estimate that more than 500 patients with ATL have been detected so far in Japan. Most of them are from Kyushu, the southernmost island of Japan, although the disease is also endemic in southern Shikoku and some parts of Honshu, including Sadogashima, an island near Niigata, and Ishinomaki, an area on the north of Sendai.KeywordsChronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaMycosis FungoidesSezary SyndromeAcute Monocytic LeukemiaPeripheral Lymph Node EnlargementThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
