Obviously, needs to be repeated, subtypes of cancer looked at, responsible agent identified.
May change way transfusions are given ie, how old of blood is transfused for different purposes.
I may have mistitled this thread prematurely ie, older blood increases rate of recurrence vs newer blood decreases rate of recurrence!
