Newspaper Page Text2A MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Thursday, April 16, 1959 Complaint off flndigesfoon Can Cover Up Discovery off Cancer Editor's note: This i the fourth of five dispatches in which a lead ing cancer expert tells Americans what they can and should do to guard themselves and their families against the disease which strikes two out of three U.S. families. By DR. EUGENE P. PENDERGRASS President of the American Cancer Society (Written fcr UPI) It may not be indigestion. Keep this thought in mind, and you will go far toward guarding yourself and your family against the cancers of the digestive tract which ac count for more than 35 per cent of all deaths from cancer. The ubiquitous word "indi gestion" covers a multitude of minor complaints. It can also cover a malignant tumor somewhere in the pathway of food through the body. "Oh, it's nothing, just in digestion .-. ." or "dyspepsia" or "heartburn" or "gas" or "constipation." There you have the greatest collective excuse for procras tination in seeing the doctor. And procrastination is the greatest single factor in tragic waste of 75,000 lives yearly. Story in Figures . Here is a dramatic story in figures: Of all patients who get stomach cancer not more than five or six per cent are Patient-Doctor Tie Important in Therapy for Cancer Hot Springs, Va. -(Science Service)- The relationship be tween the physician and the patient undergoing radiation treatment for cancer is an es sential factor in the end result. The quality of the physi cian - patient cooperation of ten determines the degree of success or failure,.Dr. Howard H. Ashbury, Staunton, Va., told physicians at the annual meeting of the American Ra dium Society here. "Such a relation is psy chologically complex," he said, "in that the participants are equally dependent upon each other. Not only does the patient need healing, but the physician needs to heal the patient, and a successful reso lution of the treatment situa tion brings mutual reward's to both." Reaction To Penicillin Curbed San Francisco (Science Service) - Persons who have an allergic reaction to peni cillin may now be helped by a new drug that curbs such reactions. At least five to ten out of every 100 Americans have an allergic reaction to penicillin, a drug second only to aspirin in daily use. Symptoms in clude hives, swelling, fever and exhaustion. Dr. William Strauss of New York City told the American Academy of General Prac tice's Scientific Assembly here that the new drug is effective in 93 per cent of the reaction cases. The drug is marketed under the trade name, Neutrapen. The number of "persons al lergic to penicillin is increas ing from one to two per cent each year, Dr. Strauss report ed, due to widespread medi cinal use and increased ex posure to non - therapeutic sources of penicillin. THE SHRINKING DOLLAR New York - rtJPD - A worker who made $5,000 in 1939 must earn $12,113 in 1959 to get the equivalent amount of purchas ing power, the National In dustrial , Conference Board said Tuesday. One especially important point the physician must real ize, Dr. Ashbury said, is that "there is a discrepancy be tween what the patient ex pects and what the doctor can accomplish which is unavoid able in our present state of knowledge." Ideal Mother Declared Myth By Psychologist Washington -(Science Service)- The ideal mother is a myth, Dr. Gardner Murphy, psychologist of the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kan., has assured the . Family Service Association of America here. A mother may be all the things expected of her and still not meet the individual needs of her own child. These are some of the things expected of the "ideal" moth er: She must be warm, strong, direct; she must enjoy her femininity and her mother hood; she must give affection and support; she must protect her children; she must be firm but not overbearing, tender but not mawkish; and she must be a stimulus and . sup port to the child's growth and his ultimate achievement of independence. . . Tenderness Rejected Research in Topeka on the problems of children who are growing up revealed that this long list does not take into account the individual differ ences of children. The researchers found an affectionate, tender mother whose little boy was a young roughneck. He did not want to be treated tenderly but was eager to bounce and jounce and from his first months had "a puppy-like need for ener getic activity." In another case, the mother, a strong, vigorous person had a little son who had a need for sensitivity and tenderness which she was unable to fill. Another child demanded a storytime hour which was bor ing to his active mother. "Like : all human relation ships, the family relationships are intensely individualized," Dr. Murphy said. . Free!

Yet, treated when the tumor is quite small and before it has spread to the lymph nodes, five-year cures can be expected in more than half the cases. The statistical story of can cer of the colon and rectum is not so grim, but the dis crepancy between potential and actual cures is still tragic. Almost half of the cancers of the colon occur in the rec tum. This v is reassuring, or should be, for 75 per cent of rectal tumors that were treat ed while the disease was limited to the mucous lining have been reported cured. Un fortunately, the disease isn't usually treated at this early stage so the cure rate drops to a shocking 25 per cent.. Changes in Habit Tumors of the colon an n o u n c e themselves with changes in bowel habits, gas discomfort, abdominal uneasiness, and irregular pain which soon assumes the rhythm of cramps. The tumors tend to ulcerate early, so bleeding may soon occur, too slight to be visible but readily detectable in the laboratory. And the steady loss of blood can add up to noticeable anemia: fatigue, shortness of breath and weakness. If anemia is confirmed, and there is no other cause for it, x-ray studies should be made of the colon.- With rectal tumors, the blood is visible soon after ul ceration. A timely warning, and how often neglected? Es pecially by the patient with hemorrhoids. Doesn't every one know they bleed? Of course. Isn't it a nuisance many people endure all then- lives? Again, of course. Can Conceal Condition But like that "indigestion," hemorrhoids can conceal a coincident condition of early cancer. So don't be content with home treatment, not un til the doctor says the bleed ing is not caused by a tumor. Surgery, aided by x-rays and radium, is the only means of saving life from colonic cancer known to science at the present time. With cancer of the stomach, detection is much more diffi cult. Symptoms are very vague and often long in de veloping. We have already discussed the omnipresent ex cuse of "indigestion." r Just let us add this warning: Don't take powders or pills and for get symptoms. Home measures can stop signs of trouble mortality of cancer of the while the cancer goes on grow- stomach. You can guard ing and spreading. Perhaps J yourself and your family by fatally Accounts for Mortality The silent interval of stom ach cancer before treatment is sometimes as much as 20 months, rarely less than six or eight. This shocking delay ac counts for much of the high reducing it. The slightest sign of disorder that persists for two or three weeks is worth a security visit to the doctor. And an old complaint should be' watched for possible changes. It is up to you! (Next: Cancer in Children.) TOO MANY CURVES .
