brain tumors in children

This week, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) confirmed that the apparent increase of brain tumors in children over the last 20 years is the direct result of our improved ability to detect them. In actuality, there has been little change in the rates of brain tumors. With the help of technology, specifically high tech screening devices, we re simply doing a better job of diagnosing them. Yet the environmentalist community continues to warn us that the United States is experiencing a cancer epidemic and that chemicals are to blame.
