Cancer Is Diagnosed Many Ways
(Editor’s Note: This is one
in a series of articles about
your health which will ap
pear regularly in the Cov
ington News as a public ser
vice feature.)
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
If there’s to be an improve
ment in the cancer cure rate,
the disease must be diagnosed
and treated earlier. By existing
means, it is difficult to diag
nose cancer in its earliest
easiest-to-treat stages. But
progress in developing simpler,
more accurate tests is being
made. Researchers at medical
and scientific centers over the
world are working on the pro
blem.
They are approaching the
task from four directions, the
National Cancer Institute of
the U. S. Public Health Service
recently noted: (1) the mea
surement of some product of
the cancer process, (2) mea
surement of some change in
the body resulting from the
cancer, (3) measurement of
some change in the body which
favors the development of
cancer, and (4) development
of instruments that may con
tribute to the identification of
cancer by mechanical, physical,
electronic or other means.
Instruments and methods
that were not available not too
many years ago are in use to
day. One of the commonest and
most reliable tests for cancer
is called biopsy. This simply
means the removal of pieces of
living tissue and the examina
tion of that tissue for the
presence of cancer. Cancer
cells, seen under a microscope,
are very different from ordin
ary cells. The main difference
is in the presence of changes
that indicate rapid growth since
cancer cells are known to grow
more rapidly than normal
cells.
Among the most recent tests
for the diagnosis of cancer is
the Papanicolaou test, or Pap’s
smear, named for the man who
developed it. In this test,
scrapings are taken from the
surface of the cervix or mouth
of the womb and the walls of
the vagina. The scrapings are
then treated with certain sub
stances and examined under a
microscope for the presence of
cancer cells.
Similarly, if cancer of t h e
lung is suspected, material
coughed up from the lungs is
examined in the same way. Ma
terial taken from breast tissue
or secretions may also be ex
amined like this. A tube can
be passed into the stomach and
material from the inner lining
of the stomach gathered and
then examined.
An important area of study
in the improvement of techni
ques for diagnosing cancer
deals with the attempt to de
velope a blood test for cancer
which would work somewhat
like the blood test for syphilis
now works. Another effort is
directed toward separating
cancer cells from normal cells
electronically. It is thought that
the “electric eye” will be su
perior to the human eye (aid
ed by a microscope) in detect
ing the changes that distinguish
cancer cells from normal cells.
The physician has means
other than tests, instruments
and gadgets to use in diagnos
ing cancer. He will probably
begin his study of the case by
which time you will give your i
full telephone number to the
operator. For example 786-1234.
*Our nation is divided into
many areas with a different
Area Code assigned to each sec
tion of the country. The most
frequently used area code
numbers will be furnished you
prior to the inception of this
new service. Other area codes
can be obtained by calling the
operator.
asking the patient about his
symptoms. He may examine
the area where cancer is sus
pected with h i s hand, or
through X-ray or a lighted
tube.
Before a doctor can make a
diagnosis of cancer, the patient
must, of course, seek his help.
Some cancers develop without
the patient’s being aware that
he is sick and when a symp
tom does occur it is too late
for successful treatment. That’s
why regular physical examin
ations and periodic tests for
specific cancers are a good
idea — particularly for per
sons over 35 or 40, after which
age group cancer is most like
ly to strike. Through these ex
aminations, early cancers that
would otherwise go unnoticed
may be detected and treated.
When signals of cancer do
appear, they are the same as
the danger signals for many
other ailments or they can
have no special significance.
But cancer’s danger signals are
generally considered as fol
lows: 1. Any sore that does not
heal. 2. A lump or thickening
anywhere in the body. 3. Irre
gular discharge or bleeding. 4.
Changes in a wart, mole or
birthmark. 5. Persistent indi
gestion and unexplained loss
of weight. 6. Persistent hoarse
ness, cough or trouble in
swallowing. 7. Any change in
normal bowel habits.
Doc MAG says: Have perio
dic examinations and be alert
to cancer’s danger signals.

a school, be sure to observe the
special lower speed limits, even
though you don’t see any chil
dren at the moment. You never
can tell where they’ll come
from, so it’s better to be on
the alert every minute. You
may even have to drive below
the posted speed limited at
। times.
Boys and girls, here is a
message to you from the Geor
gia State Patrol. If you ride
your bikes to and from school
—or to the store on errands—
just be sure you ride in single
file and with traffic, keeping
far.to the right. Don’t ever ride
another child or hitch a ride
on another vehicle. Above all,
be very sure that you know
how to ride a bike before you
take yours out on a busy street
or highway.
