Data are reviewed on the incidence of cancer mortality among 547,701 infants discharged alive from 30 maternity hospitals between 1947 and 1959. The cancer patients all died before January 1, 1959. The distribution of childhood neoplasia was classified according to frequency of prenatal abdominal and pelvic x-ray exposure of the mother. and results were analyzed statistically. A small but statistically significant increase in childhood neoplasia was found in the offspring of irradiated mothers. Results are discussed. (C.H.)
