CANCER OF THE SKIN.

The keystone to the cancer prob
lem is early diagnosis, insists the
Journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, and it goes on: If this dis
ease We're accompanied by severe
pains in its earliest stages the large
majority of patients could undoubted-
ly be cured by modern methods of
treatment. Cancer of the skin in is
very early stage can be cured by ap-
propri3te modern treatment. Fifty
per cent of all forms of cancer come
to the surgeon or specialist too late
The early stage of cancer is unac-
companied by pain, hence the patient
does not seek the doctor early All
ulcers or tumors of the skin are not
necessarily cancerous, and the treat
ment varies according to conditions
When there is on the lip, especially
the lower one, any persistent local
thickening, sore, fissure or crack OF
several months duration, then it is
suspicious of the early stage of can
Ger. 1t s dangerous to irritate such
place by sucking or picking or put
ting any kind of caustic paste on it
because usually such treatment causes
the disease to grow much faster and
to form roots" as the public call
them Another kind of skin cancer
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-08-23

begins as a small mole-like plmple
which gradually increases in size. 1t
is more dangerous when it is col
ored (brownish or blackish); later it
bleeds easily. especially when
scratched or pinched. 1t appears to
heal, but after while breaks down
begins to have roots" which means
that the nearest glands have become
diseased. This can be cured when rec
ognizsd. in it's early stage. before 1t
has roots Another kind of skin
cancer begins even more innocently,
as in the very early stage it is like
persistent scaly spot, Or as if the skin
had been rubbed off, or as a chronic
crack, or like a wart or mole. The
patient thinks nothing of this be-
cause it looks so innocent, does not
hurt at all and now and again it seems
to heal and then break out. But in
fact, if left alone, such a cancer can
destroy both the nose and eyes or at
tack the ears. Ordinary moles, wheth-
err coIored or white. and especially the
former, are decidedly dangerous when
they begin to increase in size or get
irr;tated. Generally speaking when
moles ere situated in areas which are
subject to friction, then they ought
to be removed. So the advice to the
public is to seek the doctor or spe-
cialist in the early stage of the dis
ease, because the expense of treat
ment is then very much less and there
IS a much greater chance of being
cured
