time was discussed today at the
American College of Surgeons in
convention.
Leading medical men of the nation
agreed that cure Of cancer a be
brought within reach provided
proper knowledge is broadcast and
that facilities for examination and
for after-care are brought within
the reach of the poorer classes now
suffering from a lack of both.
A symposium of papers read to
the surgeons yesterday brought out
five salient points.
l. That cancer can be cured if de-
tected in time.
2. That certain types of cancer
have no symptoms. Hence, only
frequent examinations can detect
them in time for effective treatment.
3. That, as early detection is less
likely with patients of the poorer
classes, such patients usually come
to treatment too late for cure,
whereas private patients (where
there are symptoms and where
.after-care is provided fare better
in proportion. Therefore, according
cancer experts, education and hospi-
tai effort should be directed to pro-
better facilities for examina-
