Better Health
BY Dr. Logan CIendening

TIVE medical profession has
been preaching for nearly
50 years that the great majority
OF cancerous growthS are cur
able if steps are taken early.
One would think that this was
a fairly easy and advantageous
health rule 10 follow.
II is literally true that month
by month the possibility Of com
plete removal of any form Of
these new growthS dImlnlShes
in a definite ariihfTeucal pro-
gression.
II is also true that the great
majority of these growths are
local AT first and only become
generallzed later on. Why, then,
should any one delay treatment
at the earliest possible time T.?
The American Society for the
Control OF Cancer has collected
some figures which show where
the responsibility lies.
In a series of l5S cases in
which the patient presented
himself TOO late for successful
treatment. the patient was re-
Sponsible in 50 per cent. the
physician in II per cent, and
both patient and physician were
responsible IN the remaining,
over u per cent.
The average delay in this
series was eight and one-half
months. That is. delay in start
ing treatment after the condi-
ton could have been diagnosed
adequately.
GONE Of the figures are H.
~ Eliminating. In cancer Of the
face and skin the patient was
responsible in l. per cent of
cases, the physician was reSpon-
Sible for delay in no cases, and
both physician and patient were
responsible for delay in 5 per
cent of cases: the average
period Of delay was over y
months
In breast cancer the patient
was responsible IN Is per cent
of cases. the physician alone
was responsible in 3 per cent,
and the physician and patient
were responsible IN 2 per cent;
the average delay was y
months
Reasons for the delay we're /;

symptoms serious enough. This

and Of the large bowel. These
