DON’T WONDER IF IT’S CANCER
— FIND OUT
By The Medical Association
of Georgia
-JW8BBE _
The one real hope for the cure of
cancer today This is early detection and
treatment. means knowing and
heeding cancer’s danger signals.
Cancer is an abnormal growth. It
has been described as normal cells
“gone wild.” If left untreated, it is
almost certain to spread and cause
death. Depending on where the initial
cancer is located, cancer kills by
spreading near the initial site or to
some distant organ of the body.
The American Cancer Society, a vol¬
unteer agency devoted to service to
patients, education and research on
cancer, lists seven signals that might
mean cancer. The apperance^ttf any
one of them should prompt a visit' to
your family doctor. The earlier cancer
is detected, the easier it is cured.
The danger signals are:
1. Any sore that does not heal.
2. A lump or thickening in the
breast or elsewhere.
3. Unusual bleeding or discharge.
4. Any change in a wart or mole.
5. Persistent indigestion or difficul¬
ty in swallowing.
6. Persistent hoarseness or cough.
7. Any change in bowel habits.
Recent research has suggested that
cancer is caused by a virus, or tiny
germ. But the actual cause of cancer
is still unknown. Scientists can’t ex¬
plain why previously normal cells sud¬
denly begin to grow abnormally, dis¬
placing normal known tissue.
It is that certain conditions
make the development of cancer more
likely. While the disease is not in¬
herited, some types of cancer do seem
to run in families. Chronic irritation
sets the stage for cancer. This irrita¬
tion can result from sunlight, infec¬
tion, gall stones, X-Ray or other irri¬
tants.
All cancers are not alike. Some
grow rapidly and, if left untreated,
will cause death in less than a year.
Others have been known to remain
in the body untreated for as long as
20 years. As a rule, doctors tan esti¬
mate the rapidity of the grow-th of
the cancer by identifying it as to type
and by the way it looks under the
microscope.
No tissue of the body is immune to
cancer. It occurs in the old or young,
rich or poor. The American Cancer
Society has done much to educate the
public and to seek early treatment for
cancer as a result of this, more
and more lives that would have been
lost to cancer are being saved.
While a person’s having one of the
seven danger signals doesn’t neces¬
sarily mean it that the individual has
cancer, does mean that he should
seek medical attention. The point is
that the signal could mean cancer and
the earlier the disease is diagnosed,
the greater the chances of cure.
All cancers could be cured if they
could be removed while they are con¬
fined to a small area. But, unfortu¬
nately, idly sometimes they spread too rap¬
for this. Also, some of them are
difficult to locate. They’re in the brain,
lungs, stomach, and other internal or¬
gans. These locations are not easily
examined and the cancers often give
no signs of their presence during the
early stages of their growth.
Cancers of the skin — readily seen
—have one of the highest cure rates.
Contrary to some rumors, surgery
does not spread cancer. The deaths
which follow soon after surgery for
cancer occur because the cancer had
already spread before the surgery was
performed. MAG
Doc says:
1. Have a regular physical examina¬
tion. Your doctor can often detect a
cancer before it has flashed a signal
to you.
2. Learn cancers’ danger signals and
if one of them appears, seek medical
advice immediately. Don’t wonder and
put off seeing about it. Go and find
out. You have everything to win. No
matter what the diagnosis, you’re bet¬
ter off for knowing the facts.
3. Encourage church and civic or¬
ganizations show the films in your community to

Newsweek, in its issue of April 0,
provides significant what it terms “one reported of the
most but little
highlights” of Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan’s visit to this country. Dur¬
ing a conversation at the home of
Vice President Nixon, House Demo¬
cratic leader John McCormack asked
the Prime Minister this question: “Is
it your position that even if the For¬
eign Ministers’ meeting flops there
should be a summit meeting?”
The answer was an unqualified
“yes”. Macmillan said, according to
Newsweek: “There must be a summit
or there may be war tomorrow. I can¬
not go to the Queen and ask for . . .
the evacuation of millions, many of
them children, to far places of the
Commonwealth, until I have exhaust¬
ed every other possibility.”
This grim little exchange indicates
the intense urgency and seriousness
with which the British, in common
with European governments, regard
the Berlin crisis and the other East
West cleavages. It is common knowl¬
President edge that Mr. Macmillan had felt that
Eisenhower did not fully
realize how critical matters are. That,
of course, was the guiding motive be¬
hind his coming to this country. And
apparently, that despite differences of opin¬
ion remain, the Prime Minister
was able to bring the President around
to his view. The essence of that view
is that a summit conference is an ab¬
solute necessity if the uneasy peace
of the world is to be preserved, no
matter prior meeting how little, if anything, the
of foreign ministers
may There accomplish. is
no great optimism in this
1 country as to what the summit meet-
1 ing can be expected to achieve.
I Khrushchev blows hot and cold, but
i his essential position has not changed.
We must, he says, get out of Berlin.
Our position has not changed in es¬
sence authority, either—everyone in a position
of from the President on
down, declares that we will not be
moved by threats and that, if need be,
we will use force to send our convoys
through to the Communist-surrounded
city.
What, then, are the probabilities ?
To _ a rational mind, it is inconceivable
that either side would start a shooting
war that inevitably would lead to nu¬
clear war. But if that is to be avoided
some basis of negotiation, of give and
take, must be found. A Canadian pro¬
posal, strongly supported in many
areas, would establish what amounts
to an U.N. protectorate over Berlin.
Then, over a period of years, an at¬
tempt would be made to unify Ger¬
many in some manner that would se¬
cure both Western and Soviet inter¬
ests. An arms limitation system would
be worked out. To ease tensions, both
sides might withdraw their forces a
given distance.
It is all in the lap of the gods now.
But one thing is sure — the question
of war or peace is in more delicate
balance than at any time since 1938.
And when the chiefs of state meet
they will have the awesome knowl¬
edge that the fate of civilization rests
in their hands.
