STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD CANCER Answerlline Aimrtcm Cancer Soctety ^ Combined Choirs Of Church Give Cantata (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 woman in her 50's writes: "Recently I experienced vaginal bleeding although I am past the menopause. I went to the doctor reluctantly because I was afraid that I would have to be hospialized for tests. In­ stead, a fairly simple test was done right in my doctor's of­ fice!" ANSWERline: When ab­ normal bleeding occurs it is necessary to obtain a tissue sample from the uterus to study under a microscope to discover if cancer cells are present. Usually because of such Weeding, or other suggestions of possible uterine cancer, patients are hospitalized for a "D&C"--a dilation and curretage procedure, which means taking a scraping of the lining of the uterus. Today, however, for many women, it is possible to obtain tissue samples right in a doctor's office by using an instrument with suction techniques that are usually painless and well tolerated by the patient. Such tissue sampling is important for older women who are at higher risk of developing en­ dometrial cancer(cancer of the uterine lining) and for women 'who are taking estrogens. Along with regular pelvic examinations, this test can help safeguard women against a form of cancer that is most curable when diagnosed in an early stage. An insurance agent asks: "I have read that there is a new test for prostate cancer. Is this true?" ANSWERline: Within the next six months twenty-five medical craters around the country will participate in a study of the usefulness of a new blood test technique developed at Roswell Park Memorial institute in Buffalo. It may provide an effective way of detecting prostatic cancer earlier when it is most amenable to treatment. The test represents a new way to analyze and measure an en­ zyme that has long been recognized as a biochemical marker for prostatic cancer. In addition to being a diagnostic tool, this test may also prove valuable in following tbe results of protate cancer treatment in individual patients. Since prostate cancer is the major cause of cancer death in older men, this test may prove of great irn^ portance. The nationwide study of its usefulness is being funded by the American Cancer Society. A bartender asks: "Is there a relationship between alcohol and cancer?" ANSWERline: Although the person who is a heavy drinker is at highter risk of developing The combined, choirs of the First United Methodist church of McHenry, under the direction of William Toalson, will present 44 'Specially for Shepherds" Sunday, Dec. 18. This contemporary Christ­ mas cantata, composed and arranged by Ralph Car- michael, will be presented at the 9:30 and 11 a.m. worship services. Everyone in the community is invited to attend. Musical accompaniment will be by John and Eloise Leighty on piano and organ with special guest Paul Stanek on per­ cussion. A spokesman for the pageant commented: "The world spins on the axis of Christmas! Christmas is the greatest of all celebrations inside and outside the church and at Christ­ mastime, every soloist, group and choir mobilizes to meet the mandate, 'Let heaven and nature sing.' "Now we all know that shepherds lead a pastoral life and are earthy and honest, simple and uncomplicated, cancer of the mouth or throat, voice box, and liver, the organ most directly affected is the esophagus, the tube that carries food down the throat into the stomach. The risk of developing cancer of the esophagus is about twenty-five times greater for heavy drinkers than nondrinkers. It is important to know that when a heavy drinker is also a heavy cigarette smoker, cancer risk is multiplied still more. patiently responsible and very lonely. But don't let the name of the musical fool you. It is not about shepherds. Rather it is a Biblical drama presenting both the fact and the reality of Christmas in a way that should appeal to the 'shepherd' in all of us. "Christmas -- there's no event in human history that has so affected mankind...and to think, the shepherds were the first to know!" An educated man can argue without losing his temper and without re­ sorting to adjec­ tives.
