Prevent cancer from
happening.
That was the theme of a mass
rally at which about 2,000
persons from Huron County and
the surrounding areas ssembled
in the recreation centre at CFB
Clinton to hear a distinguished
panel of experts discuss cancer
prevention treatment and
research.
All members of the panel
including Sister St. William,
co-ordinator of education for
the Canadian Cancer Society;
Maurice J. Grimes, executive
director for the CCS; Dr. K. I.
Mustard, medical advisor, CCS;
and Dr. G,P,A. Evans, MOH for
Huron stressed the need for a
common sense approach to
cancer.
They said that cancer can be
prevented, it can be beaten and
it will be beaten through the
co-operation of people who
know that early diagnosis
increases the likelihood of
successful treatment.
Dr. Mustard listed the four
types of treatment for the
disease: surgery, radiotherapy,
drug therapy and immunological
techniques. (This final treatment
measure, Dr. Mustard pointed
out, is fairly new and has to do
with tissue implants etc. into the
bodies of cancer patients.)
Dr. Mustard explained that
cancer is a group of cells which
have gone wild. He described it
as similar to wild horses. As long
as you have the wild horses in
the corral they can be
controlled. When the wild horses
break down the corral they are
difficult to round up. Mr. Grimes told the audience
that never has there been a
greater force assembled of brains,
money and equipment in a
search for a cure for one disease
as there is in the field of cancer
research.
As well as actual medical
research into the causes of all
types of cancer, there is a kind
of geographical cancer research
going on to determine why some
types of cancer are rare in
certain parts of the world and
why other kinds of cancer are
more prevalent in other parts of
the universe.
The panel fielded questions
from the audience who had
written their enquiries down on
paper and had them delivered to
the panel moderator Don Gray.
Some of these questions and
answers were:
Is cancer on the increase?
Lung cancer, yes. Other types,
no.
What is the most common
cancer in Huron? Lung cancer.
Is cancer hereditary? Not
really,
Is cancer contagious? No.
/s there more cancer in
mothers who haven't breast fed
their babies? For some reason,
yes,
How often should you have a
pap test? Some doctors say
every year, some say every two
years is adequate,
How reassured should the
women be whose pap test results
come back negative? 100
percent.
Does OHSIP pay for the pap
test? Yes.
At what age should the
female begin regular pap testing
and breast self-examinations,
Pap testing, 20 to 22 years.
Breast self-examination, 20 years
or earlier.
If over exposure to the sun
causes skin cancer, why isn't
there more of it? Over exposure
to sun doesn't include the tan
you pick up at the beach during
a two week vacation. The
warning is levelled at men who
work in the sunlight all day
every day for years.
What are the signs of cancer
of the bladder? Frequency,
urgency, pain when voiding, a
showing of blood in the urine.
However, these signs do not
always indicate cancer.
What about cancer of the
rectum. 70 percent of all cancer
of the bowel and rectum starts
in the lower 12 to 16 inches of
the bowel. This area can be
examined annually by the family
doctor for any changes which
could lead to cancer.
Does the incidence of cancer
have any relation to the family's
income? There is a definite
indication that the lower third
of the income scale tend to have
more cancer of the cervix, for
example. Early detection of
cancer cells is important and this
early detection is largely a
matter of educating people to
have regular check-ups. It has
been difficult to educate those
in the lower income brackets.
How do you get a good
checkup these days when most
family doctors are so busy?
Make an appointment ahead of
time and advise the doctor you
are specifying a cancer checkup.
What about cancer clinics?
There are more and more cancer
detection clinics being set up in
Canada, and more well-woman
clinics in connection with public
health.
In summing up the evening,
Mr, Grimes urged people not to
worry about cancer. He said
