Childhood leukemia was once considered an incurable disease. Today I am proud to say that children have an excellent chance to combat and even defeat all forms of leukemia.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 12,060 new cases of cancer are expected to arise in children 14 years old and younger this year, and over 30% of those cases will be childhood leukemia. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of leukemia in children and accounts for about 3 out of 4 cases of leukemia among children and teenagers.

Although I am a physician who takes care of infants who are often critically ill, much of my research at the USDA/ARS Children’s Nutrition Research Center involves evaluating healthy infants and children. This may seem odd. Who cares about how healthy children are growing??? Feed ‘em (but don’t overdo it) and they’ll grow sounds like a good plan!
