Show jY by Corey W. Grua Public Info. Chairman, ( Uintah Co. Unit Amer. Cancer Soc,V Stomach cancer begins to decline QUESTION: Are any cancers disappearing disap-pearing altogether? ANSWER : I do know of one. Years ago, stomach cancer was a common cause of death. According to the doctors who spoke to cancer volunteers in our state workshop recently, stomach cancer is now on a definite decline. Why? We don't know. The rate continues to drop, leading one to believe that it. may disappear entirely, but medical science can only guess at the cause. Are diets changing? is the environment improving? Your guess is as good as anybody elses. It is good news, however, to know that one form of this disease is making an exit by itself. It is a healthy sign for those of us that want to wipe out cancer in our lifetime. |
