About Your
HEALTH
IHW Pinrtait «4 RMKL
Cancer is often spoken of as the
"silent" disease. This is because
in many cases cancer grows with-
out giving any symptom. And pain,
which is most often thought of as
accompanying diseases, is not gen-
erally present until cancer is far
advanced.

Most cancers can be cured when
detected and treated in the early
stages. The difficulty in cancer
control, then, lies with the detec-
tion of the disease.
Only a physician can tell if
cancer is present. Any suspicious
symptom should always be exam-
ined by the family physician. But
often, by the time any symptoms
of cancer show up, it is too late.
Treatment of advanced cancer is
difficult.
The only insurance against this
silent growth is a regular, at least
yearly, physical examination.
All physician's offices should be
cancer detection centers, so the
family doctor is most often the
front line against cancer. For a
physical check-up, whether cancer
is suspected or not, the personal
physician is the person to see.
If cancer is suspected, the fam-
ily doctor may refer his patient
to one or more specialists to con-
firm or rule out the possibility of
cancer.
A top-to-toe physical examina-
tion will include inspection of the
body surface, followed by examina-
tion of various organs such as the
heart, blood vessels, lungs, mouth,
nose, ears, eyes, throat, abdomen,
rectum, sex organs and breasts.
The blood, urine, uterine cells,
C'1 oth«r body fluids may also be
<:xani,!ied or tested. X-rays of the
clif 'ji. ami other parts of the body
ani! a proctoscopic examination
(visual inspection of the lining of
the rectum and lower howel with
a lighted tube) may also be per-
formed by the physician.
A proctoscopic examination has
incre;ised in importance because
70 percent of cancer of the colon
and rectum can be discovered in
this way.
If a physician suspects cancer,
a biopsy is performed and a sam-
ple of the suspected tissue sent
for microscopic examination by a
pathologist (a specialist in human
tissue examination). Only a biopsy
can definitely establish the diag-
nosis of cancer.
The individual is the key to the
prompt diagnosis of cancer. For
only if a person presents himself
to his physician can a diagnosis be
made.
Simply through regular physical
check-ups can the "silent" disease
be heard.
