R.Chasmar, Saskatoon, a special- ist in plastic surgery: "Most of our automobile accidents occur in the evening, and .consequent- ly the work of repair is more`,.; often than not done in• the early morning hours. As I examine these patients in the emergency department who are brought in at night, and later as I stand over them removing chips of glass, sand.ng abrasions full of dirt, drilling holes in cracked facial bones, and repairing the soft tissue injuries I am con- vinced 'that much more than 50(1c of these people are drunk." simple cure for cancer but per- haps a thousand so-called cures," said A. R. P. Paterson at the University of Alberta in Edmon- ton,_.' a' • He was, not . speaking in a pessimistic mood but was, try..ing- to explain the piece -by -piece .approach of .cancer research everywhere today. This is call- ed "fundamental" because it is concerned with the entire field of the functions of cells --norm- al as well as *normal. As men- tioned earlier, the scientists are seeking differences between the developntenta4 life of .healthy and cancerous cells which can be exploited in • the prevention and treatment. of the disease. But, while int is still generally true that there is no simple answer to cancer, if the disease is detected early it can be sub- stantially suppressed by surgery and radiation. Same drugs help soma patients but 'they are toxic for 'normal cells too and much study of this problem continues across the country,, Dr. Carleton B. 1 irce of- M,on. j treat, a director of the Canadian I Cancer Society, said he is "no`s' especially disheartened that the cancer problem generally is still unsolved, *hat' there is still no infallible diagnostic method for. its detection, and that there is. as yet no absolute remedy for cancer. . "We already know a great ,deal about cancer, For example, we know 'that any kind of cell Can becorrne the °mother of a rnali gnant - tuner. for spread of the disease in the body -have been. mapped, "Certain changes in the chem- istry of cancer cells and tissues compared will. the normal are known. As far as we know nowt no specific bacterial infection wi11 cause a cancerous. change. .Some chronk irritants w1l,ieh nen. induce cancer have been identified." Thus the. scientists are ask- ing to which they expect only partial answers when it comes to a clear and comprehensive understanding of the disease. But if such an understanding can be considered the ultimate "capital gain" which ithe goal. of current investment in re- search, it is important not to ignore findings which can be looked upon as `interim divid- ends.", CONTRACT YOUR.
