Half of cancer patients are cured,
Huron -Perth volunteers are told
By Andy Bader
Mitchell Advocate Editor
Cancer research is
determining that although
half of the cancers in the
world today eventually lead
to death, the "encouraging"
news is that the other half are
being cured, said Jim
Koropatnick, Ph.D, the guest
speaker at the annual
volunteer appreciation
meeting of the Huron -Perth
Cancer Society last
Wednesday night at the Main
Street United Church in
Mitchell
Dr. Koropatnick, a director
with the Cancer Research Lab
at the London Regional
Cancer Centre, gave an
explanation of the biological
basis of cancer, entitling his
slide presentation "selfish
cells with long memories."
Dr. Koropatnick told the
crowd, which numbered
approximately 75, that cancer
is not really a single disease,
but a collection of diseases
with different characteristics,
treatments and consequences.
"There are nearly 200
diseases that we call cancer,"
he said.

Inspiring academic excellence within a clear moral
ramework
presentation, it's obvious that
the cells which become
cancerous in the body are
rather selfish, and migrate out
of their normal site into new
areas of the body.
"Of the 100 trillion cells in
the human body, cancer cells
are selfish cells with long
memories," he said. "Unlike
normal cells, they ignore
signals to stop growing and
multiply instead..
"cancer cells have the
advantage of growing when
normal cells do not," he said,
adding that when cancer cells
die, it's not by the world
around them, "but they are
told by the cells around them
it's time to die."
Growth of cancer cells
alone is not enough to make
cancer cell cancerous and
dangerous, he said, the
difference between a benign
and malignant tumor. The
breakdown of the membrane
around the cancer cells which
hold them within their normal
site allows the cancer cells to
spread and become invasive.
"When they break through
this membrane, the chance to
spread through the body is
there," he said.
Chemicals, radiation,
viruses and bacteria are the
main causes of cancer
because they affect the single
cell and changes its DNA
material, or genetic material
which acts as a code book for
living. If it's altered, he said,
the cell changes and it could
eventually lead to cancer.
"You will never be able to
decrease the incidents of
cancer to zero," he said. "It
will always be there because
the genetic material is a little
bit unstable on its own."
The implications of genes
in cancer are important, and
the older we get, the more

damage is done to our genes.
which is why cancer is a
"disease of age", he said.
"That's why the older we
get, the greater risk we have
of developing cancer...
The accumulated damage
to genes over the length of a
person's life eventually leads
to cancer, he said.
He explained further that
there are ways to prevent
cancer, obviously. and
mentioned statistics that a
sudden increase in smoking
during World War I (1914-
1918) paved the way for a
sudden hike in lung cancer 20
years later in the early 1940s:
When the nuclear bomb was
dropped in Japan during
World War II in 1945. five
years later incidents of
leukemia increased
tremendously in the country:
Why leukemia and not
another form of cancer? The
shorter lag period takes place.
and it does not give enough
time for other cancers to
develop fully.
The best preventive method
of cancer is. he said
facetiously. "choosing our
parents very. very carefully."
The required genes to
suppress cancer are
hereditary.
Limiting alcohol, our
tobacco consumption, fatty
foods and protection from the
sun are key and obvious
methods to prevent cancer.
