the georgetown herald wedndar february 25th 1858 pace 8 s stress importance of family doctor in cancer reprinted from canadian cencer soclety news cttr many advances have been made in medical science in recent years in fact the text books of medicine and surgery must be revised ex tensively every few years if they are riot to become obsolete but in spme of these advances advan ces which include improvements i procedures for the diagnosis and for the surgical or radiation treat ment of cancer it must be admit ted that the mortality rate from cancer has not fallen on the con trary even after making due al iowance for the increasing num ber of the population reaching the age group when cancer becomes more frequent it is apparent that the toll of cancer is increasing lest there be any misunderstan ding it should be ntade clear that the use of new chemical compounds and of knowledge about hormones those chemical compounds which are synthesized by the body itself have made it possible to control of the super specialist in many fields of activity it has become too common forthe person with a pain or an ache to attempt self diagnosis nd to consult a special 1st on treating the condition he has diagnosed such self diagno sis can be costly and can lead unnecessary delay in receiving pro per treatment the canadian cancer society ed ucation programme is aimed at tel ling canadians what they can do to help protect themselves against cancer by means of pamphlets films and public discussion it is working to reduce the fear and ig norance of the disease but it does not suggest that the patient should rely on his interpretation of the much publicized seven danger signals these and other types of information are intended only as guides since it is neither profi table nor desirable to attempt to describe all possible variations of signs and symptoms which might portend cancer the society places much emphasis on the statement some kinds of cancer for manjuhat takes two to detect can new dmp soff villi f suspension years and to make the patient with cancer more comfortable but in toe absence of a specific ure or a preventative vaccine we must continue to rely on early diagnosis and earlj treatment to increase the number of those who are cured of this disease and just how is this to be done most effectively in the view of some the answer lies lirtheestnb- lishment of cancer detection clin ics in the major centres of popul ation to these cli intervals of six month or one year or more would come healthy people for a thorough physical examination to determine whether or not there was any evidence of cancer there is no doubt that such a procedure would result in the early diagnosis of a number of cases of cancer but it would do so at great cost and at considerable inconvenience to patient the great majority of those ac tive in the control of cancer be heve thai the success of a program for earlier diagnosis of cancer must depend on the interest and sup port of the family doctor the fa mil doctor remains tiie key fig ure in the practice of medicine and in the protection of the public against disease he is the source of sound advice on all matters af fecting the health of im patients the very words have become n onymous for those characteristics af the members of the medical profession in all countries which have won lhe respect and in man instances the affection of their patients plato recognized the selflessness of the physician when he said n physician insofar as he ib a physi cian considers his own good n what he prescribes but the good of his patient cer you and your doctor the society believes that you should find a doctor for the faifa ily and put your trust in him that you 9houid report to him for a

safer working in a factory than farming in the u s 38 to 40 farm people die each day and 30q0oth era are injured no wonder we should be concerned and want to know what the farm accident pic ture is in
