Cancer In Women Studied

Further studies of a new method for detecting uterine cancer,
the second most deadly form of cancer in women, will be conducted
in eight communities throughout the country, Leonard A. Scheele,
Surgeon General Of the Public Health Service, u. S. Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare, announced recently.
The technique, involving examination of cells which have been
shed by the uterus, received its preliminary evaluation on a mass
basis in studies conducted in Memphis, Tennessee, during the past
two years.
These additional pilot projects" said the Surgeon General, ere
present positive steps toward the ultimate goal of totally eliminating
this form of cancer which so frequently and tragcaly attacks women
In their early years of maturity"
The cell examination test is a relatively simple dagnostc pro-
cedure. A physician or nurse can obtain a specimen of fluid from the
vaginal vault both quickly and painlesly The presence or absence
of cancer cells in the specimen can be tentatively established through
microscopic examination, and where cancer cells are found present,
further study of biopsy is made to establish a firm diagnosis.
The Memphis study indicated that uterine cancer could be dag
nosed in its early stages and if the tests were applied universally, it
would probably be responsible for the almost total eradication of the
disorder. In Memphis the tests produced a casefinding rate forty
times that observed in the community prior to establishment Of the
the early, highly durable cases of uterine cancer Cancer of the neck
of the womb discovered by this method had not been previously
diagnosed nor suspected by the individual.
The project locations thus far chosen for further evaluation of
the test are: Louisville, Kentucky; Madison, Wisconsin; Detroit
Michigan; Charlotte, North Carolina; San Diego, California; Provi
dence, Rhode Island; Columbus, Ohio; and Washington, D. C. These
programs will be activated as soon as arrangements are completed
with sponsoring or cooperating local health and medical agencies
Each project is expected to run for about three years. In some in
stances the Nationa. Cancer Institute will participate by stating and
equipping local clinics and laboratories; in others, funds will be made
available through grants to support work which will be carried out
entirely under local auspices.
This opportunity for rapid, full evaluaton of the cell examination

sttute.
Details concerning the current status of each project are avail

they were in accord with the slogan on the new license plates
that Nebraska is the Beef State. The housewives also told the
newspaper that the Eat More Pork" effort hadn't stepped up
their meat eating of either kind of meat and that they already
ate all of the meat they wanted or felt they could afford
