A cure for cancer would be cheap at any price. Unfortunately, however, it cant be bought. It will come, in all likelihood, as a result of research. And barring accidental discoveries the end results of research are attained by the patient building of fact upon fact. The physical principles of nuclear fission were well established long before we started constructing the first great industrial plant required to tear the atom asunder. The problem lay essentially in the field of physics, and the whole solution probably could be expressed in a page of equations. Not so with cancer, however. Cancer is believed to have come to the world before the first man. The Piking and Piltdown Man and Neanderthal Man and the noticed the ugly tumors on plants, may have animals land and, possibly, on fish, birds, themselves. And for uncounted centuries little was done but to observe in fear and awe the grotesque growths that spread and Cro-Magn- on in the deepest secrets of science in the chemical interplay of enzymes and hormones and vitamins, in the physics of cellular heat and the dynamics of metabolism, in the delicate biological balances of blood production and content. At an increasing place the myriad mysteries of cancer are being attacked. At the and radium turn of the century which with surgery now constitute the only standard cures for cancer were harnessed. In 1900 there was one cancer hospital in the United States; cancer was regarded as incurable; only a handful of technicians were able to diagnose most cancers accurately before they had reached the lethal stage. Only $15,000 was spent on cancer control; nature of the and, in light of the disease, it may be that some wondered whether this sum werent wasted. Today America spends nearly $32,000,-00- 0 a year on cancer control. The American Cancer Society already has allocated more than $9,500,000 to research alone research guided by 140 of the nations most brilliant minds constituting the Committee on Growth, research engaging hundreds of the nations outstanding scientists in universities and hospitals throughout the United States. More than 240 detection centers operate throughout the country, and clinical services are springing up rapidly. Scores of fellowships have been established to train promising young medical minds as missionaries of new and proven techniques. A great public and professional educational program has begun to take effect. The results? Cancer no longer is regarded as incurable. Medical science can cure from 95 to 97 per cent of all skin cancers but only 80 per cent are being cured. Stomach cancers are curable in 80 per cent of the cases ; but only 23 per cent are being cured. Doctors can cure 95 per cent of breast cancer; but they are curing only 47 per cent. Rectal cancer could be cured in 85 per cent of the cases, but only 14 per cent actually are being cured. The tragic gap between the curable and the cured can be laid primarily to the need for more public and professional education. The American Cancer Society has undertaken a widespread program to teach the public to heed the seven danger signals of cancer the unhealing sore, persistent indigestion, unusual discharge or bleeding, wart and mole changes, lump in the breast, continuing hoarseness, and bowel habit changes. An intensive educational program for doctors too is gathering momentum. People of this county are this month being asked to support the cancer drive. We urge wholehearted support of the campaign.
