Dr. Ma. Victoria Abesamis, president of the Philippine Society of Pediatric Oncologists (PSPO), said the practice of pediatric oncology in the country is still very young despite the huge number of Filipino children who develop cancer.

She said the PSPO was founded in 2001 with nine original members.

[Summary] => Curbing tobacco use and taking other steps to eliminate some of the most common risk factors for cancer could save millions of lives over the next few decades, health officials said.

Tobacco alone is predicted to kill a billion people this century, 10 times the toll it took in the 20th century, if current trends hold.

Most childhood cancers can be cured, provided prompt and effective treatment is accessible. In industrialized countries, three out of four children now survive. But in the developing world and emerging economies, children are often diagnosed too late, or not diagnosed at all, and lack access to information and life-saving treatment. Four out of five children with cancer live in these countries. More than half of them will die.
