Illinois CANCER Answerklitte American Cancer Society f (Editor's Note: This is a regular feature, prepared by the American Cancer society in cooperation with the McHenry county unit, Eustice Klein, president, to help save your life from cancer ><, A hotel manager asks: "is there a cancer danger associated with eating shellfish from polluted water?" ANSWERline: Cancer-like tumors have been found in shellfish taken from waters considered to be polluted, which does not mean that human beings are in danger. The shellfishshow enough signs of disease to be weeded out before sale, and (2) it is not probable that a human being would contract cancer from another species, -particularly when the differences between the species are as vast as those between human beings and oysters. The fact that shellfish in polluted waters can develop tumors is scientifically significant for another reason. Shellfish may prove to be very sensitive indicators that water is becoming polluted, which means that environmental protection could go into action at the very start of a problem. A data processor explains: "My physician convinced, me to give up cigarettes. I think that if every physician used his or her influence more patients would quit. Isn't that true?" ANSWERline: Yes. The American Cancer society's National Task Force on Tobacco and Health has reported that physicians and other health professionals have the greatest influence on smokers. Fortunately, there has been a tremendous drop in cigarette smoking among physicians to a point where 80 percent do not • smoke cigarettes, and physicians are therefore doubly important as persuaders. Right now, as part of its "Target Five" program to reduce smoking among adul'S by 25 percent and smoking among teenagers by 50 percent over the next five years, the ACS is trying to have medical, dental, nursing and health profession societies urge their members to totally eliminate personal cigarette smoking; to use their influence to encourage their patients to do the same, and to back anti- smoking legislation. Obstetricians, gynecologists, and pediatricians are crucial to this campaign because recent studies have shown an alar­ ming rise of cigarette smoking among teenagers and young women. » A young women asks: "13 cancer a result of DES ex­ posure before birth?" ANSWERline: Yes, a very small percentage of daughters bom to women who were given DES (a synthetic hormone) drugs during pregnancy have developed a rare form of cancer. DES is no longer used to treat complications of pregnancy. Thus far, although several million pregnant women took DES-type drugs, fewer than 150 "DES daughters" have developed cancer. Because there is no way of knowing in whom this cancer will develop, all young women Alliance Action Groups State Spiritual Goals With thirty-three persons present, an exciting "Alliance for Evangelism I" meeting was held Saturday. Aug. 20, at the Alliance church. Seven "action groups" met in separate meetings to discuss, evaluate, and recommend programs and challenges within the ministries of the church. Five spiritual goals were set: 1-A new consciousness of the presence of God; 2- development of love for one another; 3-nurturing the believer; 4-use of the gifts of the Holy Spirit; and 5-concern for those without. Pastor Gerald Robertson invites the McHenry com­ munity to share the full whose mothers took any kind of drug during pregnancy (in­ cluding the use of vaginal creams) should see a physician as soon as possible. Treatment of DES-related cancer has been highly effective when the cancer has been detected in an early stage. SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY.
