Wipe Out Cancer In Your Lifetime
"We want to wipe out cancer in your lifetime.”
That is the theme of the American Cancer Society’s April Crusade. There are volumes behind those nine words. The trend in the medical attack on cancer gives reason for hope.
In the late thirties, for example, fewer than one in five cancer patients was being saved. The following decade it was one of four. And today one of three hit by cancer is saved.
With knowledge now available, sober medical and scientific opinion holds one of two cancer patients could be saved providing detection and treatment come in time. ^
The advances in the treatment of cancer have come from research and improvement of surgical and radiation therapy. In some instances, drugs have been effective against certain types of cancer.
But there can be little difference of opinion about what is needed for the final conquest of this ancient enemy of mankind. The scientific battles have to be broadened and stepped up. This means more money for brain power and manpower, more money for equipment and facilities.
When an ACS volunteer comes to your home in April, remember the goal: “We want to wipe out cancer in your lifetime.”’
