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.
Bicycle use up in Oregon
A fatal accident claimed M errill Lee Robinette of Mulino Saturday. Feb. 7.
when the car he was driving left the road and plunged 15« feet over an em
bankment. The accident occurred one mile west of Government Camp. A
passenger. John Michael Holmstead. is under intensive care at Gresham
Community Hospital, (photo courtesy of John Rizzo).
M ore than 3.7 m illion
miles of bicycle travel were
logged in 1980 on 226 miles of
bikepaths built with Oregon
S ta te H ig h w a y D ivis io n
funds.
Bicycle path usage was up
substantially from 1974 when
1.8 million miles were logged
on 65 miles of path.
It is estimated that there
were 500,000 bicycles in
Oregon in 1970. That mark
doubled by last year, an in
crease which is higher than
the population growth.
A 1971 law provides for one
percent of State Highway
funds to be used for building
and maintaining footpaths
and bicycle trails.
