KDHE probe widened to 10 county area leukemia cases rise
State health officials expanded their leukemia investigation beyond Labette County after eight pediatric leukemia cases were found there between 1984 and 1993, far above expected. Dr. Stephen Pickard of KDHE notes rates exceed national figures as the probe broadens across the region prompted by a Cherryvale parent’s loss.

Mother's Efforts Prompt State Leukemia Study
Terry Smith from Cherryvale spurred a Kansas health probe into eight leukemia cases in Labette County from 1983 to 1993 after her daughter's death in 1993. Sen. Nancy Kassebaum requested the study, which broadened to 10 southeast Kansas counties, including Montgomery, Cherokee and Wilson. Doctors caution against early theories as risk factors are not yet analyzed.
