THE CANCER PROBLEM.
By J. L. Campbell, M. D„ F. A. C. S.,
Chairman of the Cancer Commis
sion Medical Association of Ga.
(This is the fourth in a series of
seven articles on the Cancer Prob
lem in its relation to Public Health
written by Dr. Campbell at the re
quest of the Georgia State Board of
Health. Succeeding articles will be
published in The News until the se
ries has been completed.)
CHAPTER IV.
Cancer is an independent new
growth of tissue cells which have
reverted to the primitive or embry
onic type and have lost their rela
tion to the laws governing the pro
cesses of body growth. In order to
visualize the meaning of this defini
tion, we must explain that the body
is made up of individual units called
cells, just as a building is made up
of units—brick or stone. The ex
pression “primitive or embryonic”
refers to the body cells before
birth. These cells have certain pe
culiar characteristics, principally rap
id growth, that is lost at birth
when it gives way to function.
The cause of cancer has not
been definitely determined. Howev
er, we know a number of contrib
uting causes which may be elimi
nated, thereby preventing the de
velopment of cancer in some parts
of the body. In other organs we
are powerless to inhibit its growth.
Chief among these
causes is chronic irritation. This
may be mechanical or chemical: a
broken tooth cutting the edge of the
tongue or the irritating effect of
nicotine on the mucous membrane of
the mouth and throat in those who
use tobacco to excess. A very ma
lignant type of cancer often devel
ops in the margin of deep, irregular
scars or in a chronic ulcer or ero
sion which is subjected to repeated
trauma. Certain types of moles are
hnown to be the starting points of a
terrible form of cancer. In fact,
we are familiar with many condi
tions which, if corrected, will pre
vent cancer.
Malignant tumors have a fairly
fixed habit as to location in the
body, so much so that we know al
most to a certainty where to look
for them. The age of the patient
is another important feature. There
is not one chance in a thousand that
a tumor located at a definite point
in an individual under 25 years of
age will be cancer, whereas a tumor
in the same location in one past 40
is almost certain to be malignant.
Again, there exist certain well
known lesions which are recognized
as precancer and may be perma
nently cured by simple means, if
properly applied in time.
It has never been proven that
cancer is hereditary. Yet, any one
of the predisposing causes enumer
ated above may be more likely to
produce cancel 1 in an individual in
heriting a susceptibility to malig
nancy. This has been fairly well
proven by Dr. Maude Slye, working
with mice in her extensive labora
tories in Chicago. A single blow
may call the individual’s attention
to a pre-existing lump; but it is
doubtful if cancer was ever caused
in this way. Bad blood will not
cause cancer. Although one suffer
ing from a blood disease may have
cancer, there is no proof that the
blood taint was a causative factor.
Certain forms of cancer develop
among workers in dye factories and
places where the skin is subjected
to the effects of coal tar. In fact,
a recent “cause of cancer” could be
induced to work after the skin had
been subjected to the repeatd ap
plication of tar. Chimney sweeps in
England develop skin cancer in the
folds of their bodies where the soot
accumulates.
In subsequent chapters we will
discuss more at length the causes
which may be eliminated from cer
tain portions of the body, thereby
precluding the development of can
cer.
