WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN) today was reaccredited by the CEO Roundtable on Cancer with the CEO Cancer Gold Standard, which recognizes companies that take extensive actions to promote cancer prevention, early cancer detection and access to quality cancer care for all employees and their dependents. The recognition is one of three awards bestowed upon AstraZeneca this week - including FORTUNE Magazine's "100 Best Places to Work For" list and the American Heart Association's "Fit-Friendly Company" award.

AstraZeneca is now one of only 12 accredited U.S. organizations, and was among the first six companies to receive CEO Cancer Gold Standard accreditation in 2006.
