(NAPSI)—Good news about children’s health: Most youngsters with cancer—nearly 80 percent—beat the disease, according to Michael P. Link, M.D., president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

“One major reason,” he explained, “is that the overwhelming majority of childhood cancer patients—about 80 percent—have enrolled in clinical trials. These are the vehicles through which cancer treatments are developed and refined. They remain the most powerful tool for advancing the care of both childhood and adult cancers.”

You can find this prestigious spokesman for the highest levels of cancer research and treatment listed among the more than 2,600 outstanding physicians in the new seventh edition of “America’s Top Doctors for Cancer.”

The book is published by Castle Connolly. It’s sold for $34.95 at (800) 399-3627, major bookstores and www.castleconnolly.com.
