POST 5 County physicians ready to detect cancer signs M o at c a n c e r can be detected early and in the of fice of every Clackamas County physician is a cancer detection center Doctors w ill find the cancer immediately almost every time that a patient notices one of the warning signs and goes in for a checkup, according to Dr. Rudolph Stevens of the Clackamas County Medical Society. By inserting suitable in struments in various body openings, th physician may be able to see a sore or tumor. If he suspects cancer, the doctor will order further studies This process is routinely used in exam ina tion of the inside of the nose, the vocal cords, the rectum and lower colon, and, in women, in the vagina and cervix. Direct viewing of the blad- der and stomach are also p o s s ib le . When a tumor is found, its cancerous nature can be pro ven by biopsy. This involves the removal of a small piece of the tumor for examination with a microscope Surgical removal of the cancer, destruction of the tumor with radiation and special drug therapy are the prim ary methods of treat m e n t.
