Officer Says:

Unreasoning fear about cancer
should be replaced by intelligent
action concerning this disease, since
cancer can usually be cured in its
earliest stages. The fact that many
persons who have been treated
successfully-by surgery, radium or
X-ray-are now living five or more
years after a definite diagnosis of
early cancer is proof that there is
substantial ground for hope.
Too many people postpone going
to their physician for diagnosis and
treatment when they suspect cam
Ger because they dread hearing the
truth or because they mistakenly
believe that they can't be cured
anyway.
Time is a vitality important fac
tor, for satisfactory results can be
produced only if treatment is be-
gun early while the cancer is con-
fined to a small area. Anyone sus-
pecting cancer should consult his
physician as soon as an unexplain-
ed lump, discharge or persistent
sore is noticed on any part of the
body. Waiting for pain as symp-
tom may be disastrous, because
pain often does not occur until the
malignant growth has made serious
advances.
The value of early diagnosis cam
not be too strongly stressed. There
fore regular examinations are rec
commended and urged, particularly
for those of middle age or older,
