Cure Chances Better For Those With Cancer By ALTON BLAKESLEE NEW YORK (AP)---If. cancer should strike, what are your chances of being cured? Vastly better than 25 years ago. But not much better than five to 10 years ago, for most types of cancer, a frank look at can- cer cure rates shows. And most authorities expect little improvement until more effective drugs are found, or until greater progress is made in detecting cancers early, or preventing them -in the first place. ¢ In cancer, 'cure'? means. a person remains alive with no signs of the disease five years or oad after it had first been trea In 1940, one in five patients was cured, Now, one in three is cured, the American -Cancer Society estimates. But that rate has been hold- ing fairly steady. , DETECTION VITAL Earlier detection usually boosts chances of cure, for then a cancer is more likely still to be localized, more likely to be totally removed, or destroyed by. surgery, or radiation, or drugs. Your chances depend also partly upon the type of cancer, where it is located, whether it is slow or fast-growing. In order to indicate the most recent trends--rather than wait- ing five years of time--this analyiss uses three-year sur- vival rates from the time treat- ment started. For cancer of almost every type, says this analysis by the National Cancer Institute, the three-year survival rate was higher for people getting can- cer in 1955 - 59 than during 1945-49, LITTLE PROGRESS The. greatest improvement oc- curred in the years up to 1955, but since then "except for can- cer of a few sites, there seems to have been relatively little progress." Here are some examples in percentage: (M--men; W--women): 1940-44 1950-54 1955-59 9 15 15 24 44 49 31 48 53 46 57 58 Lung (M) 3 7 9 Lang (W) 7 13 12 Breast (W) 63 68 68 Pancreas 3 3 3 Cervix (invasive), 49 64 63 Of all major cancers, other figures show, the greatest gain Stomach Colon (M) Colon (W) Bladder has come in preventing deaths!550,000 Americans will be diag-| Se Sak 7s ate iat re <r a from cancer of the cervix and of the uterus--with death rates down by about half since 25 years ago. This is credited mainly to early detection, through test smears .and examinations, and improved treatments. But here also the rate of life-saving has not been increasing lately. It is estimated that only half of U.S. women have ever had the smear test that checks, simply and painlessly, whether any cancer cells are being sloughed off from the uterus. For reasons totally unknown, cancer of the stomach is not so common now as 20 years ago. The cure rate, when this cancer does occur, is up slightly im the last 20 years, LEUKEMIA FATAL Acute leukemia still is fatal, but now 80 per cent of children win remissions, or temporary reprieves from drugs. These last for months or even in some cases for two or three years. A very few youngsters have gone far longer. For cancer of the breast, little progress has been made in years in boosting chances of cure, Skin cancer is most highly lcurable -- your chances being ifour out of five for cure--and jone reason is you can begin to jsuspect pretty early that some- thing is wrong, and have it \treated, What all the figures, from various yardsticks, say is this: Excluding skin cancer, your over-all chances of whipping cancer are about one in three. This is a general average. Some cancers with good pros- pects of cure, such as cancer of the cervix; rectum and colon, are fairly common, And some cancers with poor prospect of cure, such as cancer of the stomach or pancreas, are not frequent. Lung cancer is alarmingly on the rise, and the chances of cure are pretty grim so far. |MORE DEATHS | Grim, also, are figures show- jing that more Americans, in |total numbers, are getting and even 10 years ago. A principal reason is that the population is leaping and more people are living to miiddle age or beyond, the years in which to cancers in various sites. In 1964, the cancer death toll was 290,000. More men are dy- ing each year now from cancer than women. This year, it is estimated that Whites Lack Fear Of God Negroes In L.A.

Robert Richardson, 24, a Negro and an advertising salesman for the Los An- geles Times, tells how it looked to him as armed po- lice and national guardsmen stopped and checked cars and strians. By ROBERT RICHARDSON LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The hot summer afternoon is end- ing. I anm talking to negro res- dents of the riot - torn area. "Why?" I ask. "Why the riots?" The answers hit me like a slap in the face. "We are going to put the fear of the Negro into these white people because they do not have the fear of God." Now fight has fallen. We are moving south on the Harbor Freeway, hearing that snipers are firing on cars there. I'm with three other reporters. We are all tensé and bone tired. And we all are Negroes. At Willowbrook Avenue and El Segundo, something is hap- pening: Firemen are hauling up hoses and battling to save a building containing a drug store, a bar- ber shop and a liquor store, but they are losing. " HOSTILE CROWD FORMS Out on the streets behind us-- But we get out, all trying to say at once that we are work- ing newspaper men. "Get the hell out,' is the re- ply from the officers, We do it. Five police officers, helmeted and holding shotguns, watch us warily as we move away. At 120th Street and Central ;Avenue, I am stunned by the sight of the demolished super- market that once boasted of its lequal hiring practices. I get out of the car and look at the rubble, thinking this was the store where I came with my mother as a little boy... where I met with other neigh- borhood kids and drank soda pop and talked about football. \l want to cry. SOUND OF STEPS I am trying to think about that when someone shouts and |footsteps come rushing toward) jme. The guys in the car yell: \"Move man, move." . Then there is a shotgun in my face and a policeman says:} "Move on mister, Let's go now. Move." In the policeman's face, there \is no awareness that I am try- jing to see my childhood in the charred wreckage of the super- market. His eyes are only the eyes of a man with a job to do. More officers come hurrying over to our car. So I get in the 10)are: dying from cancers than 25 or| they become more susceptible} \ nosed as having cancer, Thou- sands will join the ranks of the 1,300,000 who have won their battles in the past and are still alive. The American Cancer Society says half of these new victims could be saved or cured, if their cancers were detected early enough, and if they received the best available treatments. Early detection does very often save lives. And detection methods are better now than 10 years ago, FIND CANCERS Cancer detection clinics, ex- amining thousands of presum- ably healthy persons, do find cancers and do initiate earlier treatment that increases cure rates, the clinics report. More researeh to learn why cancers begin, how to. prevent them, how to detect them more accurately, how to treat them most effectively, holds the ulti- mate answers. : Meanwhile, the best practical defences suggested by cancer authorities to boost your chances More concentration upon find- ing cancers that can be seén or felt, particularly through exam- inations of the rectum, cervix, lymph nodes and breast, or on the skin. | More preventive action based| upon present knowledge about known or suspected causes, | Cigarette smoking, for in-) stance, is blamed as a cause of lung cancer, and smoking can| be diminished or stopped.

Assistant Commissioner Har- old Graham said Laun, origi- nally from Germany but now a naturalized Canadian, was ar- re"#d by. Interpol, the interna- tional police agency, and that two provincial police officers travelled to Spain to identify him. ; He was the promoter of a scheme under which 1,135 peo; ple invested various sums 0 money in buying pigs and feed. The animals were to be raised at a 'pig farm at. Sunderland, Ont., 50 miles north of Toronto, with the proceeds of their sale going to the investors. The operation, called Piggy- land, went bankrupt in Febru- ary, 1962, with a net deficit of $1,613,259. According to the amount of money invested there should have been 18,000 sows on the farm, but there were fewer than 1,500 and many of them were dying' from malnutrition. Investors eventually got back less than 10 per cent of their money from the auction of the remaining animals and equip-) ment. Commissioner Graham said it has not been decided whether Laun will be extradixted or de- ported to Canada.
