1 Today, we hear physicians
experienced in the cancer
problem say: "I firmly believe
that the possibility of prevent
ing deaths from cancer is
greater than for any other
chronic disease." And: ."More
can be done against cancer
through e d u c a t i on than
against any other disease."
..Both statements are-sound
. and. realistic. :''';:.; :;
I have said the same thing
many times. But whenever I
do, I am always overcQme by
a sense of frustration. I ask
myself: ' "c .
l.Why? Why, then, are we not
laving more lives from, can
cer? Not just the one but of
three we are now saving. Why;
isn't it one out of two or even
more? ' : ; ., --e
II know the answer. We just
are not doing enough about
cancer; By we, I mean the
public and the medical pro
fession. . , .
Accomplished Much .' - ,
Ay e h u v e accomplished
much in the last 25 years.
Much more than we originally
believed ' possible. Many peo
ple alive today are living testi
mony to that accomplishment.
But today we must not be sat
isfied with the fact that the
cure rate for cancer is increase
ing only about 1 per cent each
year.
Pronounced Trend
All studies indicate that
there is a pronounced trend
today toward earlier diagno
sis. Early diagnosis means a
far better chance of cure. Yet
the trend is frustratingly slow.
Consider three studies made
last year. "'.
A study of statistics kept by
two hospitals for an eight-year
period of 4,112 cancer patients
revealed that only 38 per cent
of the cancers diagnosed in
1930 were localized, but by
1658. 49 per cent were local
iied, a gain of 11 per cent The
cure rate of patients with lo
calized cancer was 64 per cent,
This is real progress.
Now let us look at those pa
tients whose cancers were not
diagnosed early. j
.With cancers that had be
gun to spread regionally, the
cure rate was 30 per cent; for
distant spread it was only 3
per cent.
Obviously, the cure rate
would have been far greater
if all the cancers had been lo
calized when diagnosed and
treated. In many cases the pa
tients probably delayed seeing
c doctor.
Another study, made by the
University of Chicago last
year for the American Cancer
Society, revealed vthat the
great majority of the nation's
physicians : believed . that all
adults should have an annual
checkup even if they are weu,
'A sampling of 42,239 ques
tionnaires filled out voluntari
ly by individuals in the Amer
ica's Cancer Society's Cancer
Prevention Study of 1,100,000
people showed that 42.4 per
cent of the men and 50.1 per
cent of the women said they
had a medical checkup each
year. Encouraging as this is,
the percentage should have
been much higher. The doc
tor's office is the first. line of
defense . against ; death from
cancer..''-',.. '.';;
Simpla Technique !:',:'
This study also showed that
only one .out of three women
practice breast self-examina
tion, a simple technique by
which women discover lumps
or irregularities in t h e i.r
breasts, a condition which
should call v for immediate
medical attention. :
Early Diagnosis
Failure in early diagnosis
and prompt treatment stands
in the way of dramatically re
ducing the death rate from
cancer today, In the last dec
ade, research has so improved
diagnostic techniques and the
treatment by surgery and ra
diation, and chemicals used in
combination with" them, to
make possible the arrest of
cancers that were unmanage
able a snort time ago. New
methods and techniques we
have today are such as to
make "unnecessary" death by
cancer one of the great trage-

hunting may get more diffi
cult because women are out
living men in the United
States. '
The Census Bureau report
ed Sunday there were 97 men
and boys for every 100 wom
en and girls in this country
last year, compared to a ratio
of 98 to 100 in 1950. : -.
It also said there were 9.1
million women 65 or older
and only 7.3 million men in
that age bracket. '
dies of modern time.
! What could be done? What
is being done? -
40 Per Cent Drop !
i There will be 83,000 new
cases of breast cancer and al
most 24,000 deaths in 1961. A
great many of the 24.000 could
have been saved through ear
lier diagnosis. ,
The American Cancer So
ciety's growing uterine cancer
program has effectively con
tributed to a 40 per cent drop
in death from the 'disease in
a single generation. Today we
have the potential to achieve
a uterine cancer cure rate of
nearly 100 per cent through
wide use of the Papanicolaou
smear technique. Still there
will be 14,000 deaths from
this disease in 1961. Earlier
diagnosis could end this trag
edy. " '... ;'-:;," V , !...;
' This year' there ' will be
about 70,000 new cases of can
cer of the colon and rectum
and there will be about 40,000
deaths. This form of cancer is
highly curable -three out of
four victims when diagnosed
and treated in its early stages,
A digital and proctoscopic ex
amination should be included
in a routine, medical checkup
each year, to find the cancers
while they are still curable,
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer will take 37,
300 lives In 1961. This form of
cancer offers a greater oppor
tunity for prevention than any
other type of cancer. It is esti
mated that if men, women and
teenagers did not smoke cigar
ettes that 73 to 80 per cent of
lung cancer would be elimi
nated.. .- " ..'..' ' "
Obviously what is needed
today, if we are going to save
the Uvea that could be saved
through early, diagnosis. ' is
more and more education, bet
ter techniques of reaching and
motivating people.. Let me re
peat what the physician said:
'More can be done against
cancer through education than
against any other disease."
