The bigger picture: Epidemiology on the macrolevel…

Interesting reading:

Miller, D. G. (1962) “Patterns of immunological deficiency in lymphomas and leukaemia.” Ann. Intern. Med. 57:703

Relevance: Shows paradigm awareness of ability of the leukemia/sarcomas to produce immunodeficiencies since at least 1962. Other references (not shown) suggest knowledge of this phenomenon even prior to World War II. See works by E. A. Kabat.

While this single reference is by no means a claim to finding general interest in the area by science in the 1960s this is only one of literally THOUSANDS of research papers on the same subject.
