Fifty years ago, childhood leukemia was always fatal. Though the number of new cases has remained largely unchanged, what has changed is the outcome. In the United States, instead of 2,140 deaths of children with leukemia under the age of fifteen in 1961, there were 597 deaths in 1993, and the figures are improving every year. Today, over 75 percent of children with leukemia can be cured.
Yet no one can put a specific date on the cure of leukemia or say which child was the first to live rather than die. Even the doctors and scientists most responsible were astonished to realize that they had reached their goal. Dr. John Laszlo tells the story of this monumental victory over cancer through the voices of nine doctors and researchers. In a counterpoint of voices from patients and parents, Dr. Laszlo re-creates the tense world of hospital wards, of desperately ill children, the bitter days when new therapies ended in relapses, and then the cautious hope as remissions stretched longer and longer.
