Huron Medical Officer of Health Makes
Plans For Cancer Clinic Later in Summer
Alarmed by the rising inci-
dence of lung cancer in Canada,
Huron County nia • institute a
free clinic later this year to
spot potential lung cancer
victims among smokers.
Provincial health authorities
said they know of no other such
clinic operating in Ontario al-
though such projects are spread-
ing in the United States and
Britain.
Dr. G.P.A, Evans, Huron
County medical officer of
health, described the increase
of luny canes. in .Canad
as an epidemic in the sense
than "it is present among us in
alarming proportions."
He said the county fully in-
tends to go ahead with the
clinic late in summer or early
autumn if it can make arrange-
ments with a cytologist to do
the lab worts on samples taken
in the clinic.
The program is not designed
to find smokers tvho already
have unsuspected lung cancer.
"In perhaps 95 per cent of such
cases, nothing much could be
done for them anyway, " said
Dr. Evans.
Instead, the sputum cytology
tests are expected to reveal the
presence of abnormal cells,
before lung cancer has develop-
ed, which indicate the patient
is likely to develop lung cancer
within two or three years.
Depending on the patient's
HIGHER
exact condition, the next likely
step would be surgery to remove
lung lobes containing the ab-
normal cells.
"If we find abnormal cells it
should indicate to the patient
that it's time he quit smoking,
too," said Dr, Evans.
Chest x-rays are used to est-
ablish the presence of lung
cancer but the sputum rests
establish the potential conditiini
much earlier.
Dr. Evans would not discuss
the local statistics on lung
cancer because "we don't want
to run a scare campaign".
But national statistics and
alarmed warnings are readily
available.
Last November, Health Mini-
ster John Munro called it a
"lung cancer epidemic" when
he released figures showing a
10 -per -cent death increase in
1907 over 1966. Deaths across
the country totalled 4, 318 in
1967.
The lung cancer death rate in
Canada doubled between 1950
and 1967 and will double again
in 20 years, federal health
witnesses told a Commons
committee itivestigating smok-
ing in February.
In March, a Toronto cancer
specialist told a meeting there
the rare of increase of lung
cancer deaths has surpassed all
predictions with 50, 000 new
victims a year in North Amer-
ica now.
