Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“No, it isn’t Cancer…”
PEOPLE are beginning to realize that there is much needless
worry about cancer. For example, the American
Cancer Society reports that at a typical cancer clinic.
where large numbers of people are examined, only about
one out of every 125 is found to have cancer.
Thanks to medical progress, the spirit of hopelessness
that once surrounded cancer has been replaced by rising
optimism. This is based in part on the increased number
of lives now being saved. Records of the American Cancer
Society, for instance, show that skin cancer, discovered
early and treated promptly and properly, is curable in
85 percent of the cases.
What developments hold great promise for the future?
For one thing, there are the advances achieved in both
diagnosis and treatment. Cancer of certain internal organs,
for example, can now be detected by searching under the
microscope for cancerous cells cast off into body fluids.
This yields clues to so-called “silent cancers," or those
which have not caused noticeable symptoms. It is in this
stage that the disease is often curable.
One great hope of cancer research today is that drugs
will be found to cure both localized and widely spread
cancer. Already there are chemicals which can slow down
. . . and even stop for awhile . . . the growth of some types
of cancer cells. Today, however, only surgery and radiation
offer hope of cure or control.
While the sweeping search of science goes on against
cancer, everyone . . . especially those who are middle-aged
and older . . . should take these two wise safeguards:
I. Learn the seven danger signals listed here that give
early waning of the possibility of cancer. Remember,
these signals are not sure signs of cancer.
2. Have periodic medical examinations. These are
especially important because about 50 percent of all
cancers occur in body sites that can be readily examined
by the doctor.
Cancer still ranks second as a cause of death-but
cancer is wo/ hopeless. Even with today’s weapons, we are
. . . according to the American Cancer Society . . . saving
the lives of 70,000 people each year from cancer.
Cancer's Seven Warning Signals
I. Any sore that does not heal.
2. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere.
3. Unusual bleeding or discharge.
4. Any change in a wart or mole.
S. Persistent indigestion or difficulty in swallowing.
6. Persistent hoarseness or cough.
7. Any change in normal bowel habits.
