Castle Connolly, a trusted name since 1991 in recommending the top doctors across the country, releases the 4th edition of America's Top Doctors for Cancer. The 4th edition contains detailed profiles of nearly 2,300 of the nation's leading cancer specialists across more than 40 medical specialties. New York, NY (PRWEB) January 14, 2009 -- The diagnosis and treatment of cancer is likely increasing due to the aging of the baby boomer population; the "downside" to living longer is that people live long enough to develop certain cancers. The growth in cancer and cancer survivors - a reflection of detection advances and cancer treatments - demands more oncologists. But a growing number of oncologists are heading into retirement without enough new oncologists to fill the need.
"These predictions are alarming and worrisome," said healthcare expert Dr. John J. Connolly, President and CEO of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., and the former president of New York Medical College. "But, an informed consumer working in concert with top doctors and top hospitals is best prepared to face the challenges of a diagnosis of cancer - and that's how America's Top Doctors (R) for Cancer will best help people," says Dr. Connolly.
America's Top Doctors (R) for Cancer (4th edition; $29.95) identifies the nation's most outstanding physicians for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers in both adults and children. This edition contains detailed profiles of nearly 2,300 of the nation's leading specialists, across more than 40 medical specialties. It is available at all major bookstores, via the toll-free number 1-800-399-3627 or online at
