ACS outlines progress and challenges in childhood cancer
A new report from the American Cancer Society (ACS) outlines the progress made, and—more importantly—the challenges that remain, in fighting childhood cancer. The report estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths for children and adolescents in the United States; summarizes the most recent and comprehensive data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival; and outlines what is known and where answers are still needed for childhood cancers.
