The rate of leukaemia, themostcommonchildhood cancer, is highest among Latinos, but white children and teenagers have the highest overall cancer rates in America.
The researchers determined that kids who attend day care and play groups decrease their risk of developing themostcommon type of childhood leukemia by 30 percent.
For example, a woman diagnosed in the first stages of breast cancer today has nearly a nine-in-ten chance of being alive five years later, as does a child diagnosed with themostcommon form of childhood leukemia.
