the death rate haa leveled off in children but increased considerably among adults. The uterine cancer death rate had dropped 27 pet cent, attributed in part to widening acceptance of the “Pap* test for early detection. The Society puts great emphasis in its educational program on uterine cancer, because greater use of the "Pap1' technique which can detect the disease before symptoms appear, could virtually eliminate the disease as a cause of death. Still it is estimated that 14,000 women in the U. S. will die of uterine cancer in, 1965, largely because they neglected to have a "Pap" test once a year. Once, the leading cause of death from cancer among women, the death rate from uterine cancer has been cut SO per cent in the last 25 years. Over-all the cancer picture for 1965, according to the Society’s booklet, is this: THfere will be about 550,000 new cases diagnosed. There will be about 850,000 under medical care for cancer. About 295,000 will die of cancer in 1965, against 290,000 this year. About 183,000 will be saved from cancer in 1965. Some 92,000 cancer patients will probably die in 1965 who might have been saved by earlier and better treatment. More men than women die of cancer. The ratio in 1965 it is estimated, will be 55 men to 45 women.
