1. Allison Hayes -- Leukemia
   Allison Hayes died on February 27, 1977 at the age of 47. Some sources list the cause of death as "blood poisoning," but others maintain she was the victim of medical quackery stemming from dangerous alternative treatments she received after being diagnosed with leukemia in 1976.
2. Benzene -- Environmental Protection Agency
   Benzene causes leukemia. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency classifies Benzene as a known human carcinogen. Even the companies who produce it and their industry lobbying groups agree on the danger. They confine their dispute to how much Benzene the body can take and over how long a period before cancer, illness and death occurs.
3. Benzene -- Gasoline
   Benzene is a clear, colorless liquid with a sweet odor when in pure form. It burns readily. Benzene is obtained from crude petroleum. Small amounts may be found in products such as cigarette smoke, paints, glues, pesticides, and gasoline.
4. Lymphoma -- Lymphoma Society
   The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, headquartered in White Plains, NY, is the world's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research and providing education and patient services. The Society's mission is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1949, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society has invested more than $483 million for research specifically targeting leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma. Last year alone, the Society made 4.2 million contacts with patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals through services provided at its home office and by its 66 chapters in the United States and Canada.

5. Benzene -- Exposures
   Benzene is an industrial chemical that's found in tobacco smoke, car exhaust and vapors from household products such as paint, detergents and furniture wax. Long-term exposure can cause leukemia and other cancers of the blood, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
6. Lymphoma -- Diseases
   Having symptoms of Lymphoma can be a frightening experience. It is no good sign for sure but you might be wrong. It may be noted that if a physical examination points towards the possibility of Lymphoma, you should approach a hematologist-oncologist specializing in the diagnosis and care of the broad spectrum of malignant blood and related diseases to get the initial diagnosis confirmed. Treatment should begin only when there is no doubt that the disease manifested is Lymphoma.
7. Childhood Cancer
   The most common form of childhood cancer, a specific type of leukemia, has about an 85% cure rate. Unfortunately, the chemotherapy used to treat it can have lasting effects on the brain.
8. Vomiting -- Dogs
   Vomiting causes dehydration and rather severe malnutrition, as well as blood imbalances. Sooner or later, it will have repercussions on the general health of the dog. This is why vomiting must be treated quickly, especially in young animals.
9. Lymphoma -- Patients
   What does Lymphoma-net.org offer? You'll find helpful information on the different types, causes and symptoms of lymphoma, as well as details of the different treatments available. There are useful links to patient support groups, along with general advice on living as healthily as possible with NHL. There's ... a regularly updated 'What's new?' section that provides the latest news on developments in non-Hodgkin's. Other materials include:
10. Irene Joliot-Curie
    In 1935, Labouisse's only sibling, Irene Joliot-Curie, and her brother-in-law, Frederic Joliot, shared a Nobel Prize in chemistry. Her sister died in 1956 of the same cause as their mother: leukemia, believed to have been caused by prolonged exposure to radioactive material.
