NEW YORK, N.Y.
Forty-one per cent of
cancer patients will sur
vive at least five years
after treatment, the
American Cancer Society
reported this week.
In the 1981 edition of its
annual publication,
"Cancer Facts and
Figures, the Society
asserts that about 268,000
Americans one-third of
all who will get cancer this
year will survive for
five years or more. When
normal life expectancy is
taken into consideration '
(factors such as dying of
heart disease, accidents
and diseases of old age),
41 per cent Of cancef pa
tients will survive.
The Society adds that
many more people could
be saved. "About 134,000
people with cancer will
probably die in 1981 who
might have been saved by '.
earlier diagnosis and pro-!
mpt treatment," says
Facts and Figures. This ,
means that with our pre-j
sent knowledge of the (
disease, as many as one-;
half of "cancer patients
could be Cured.
According to the Socie
ty, . more than three
million living Americans
have survived cancer, two
thirdsofthem having beeii
diagnosed five or more
years ago. Most cancer pa
tients who have gone that
;lohg without recurrence
are considered to have the
same life expectancy as
per sons who never had the
disease. But Facts and
Figures points out that
"the decision as to when a
patient may be considered
cured is one that must be
made by the physician ,
after examining the in
dividual patient."
The 1981 edition of,
Facts and Figures clearly
demonstrates why there is
such an overwhelming
concern about prevention,
early diagnosis and treat
ment of cancer.
Despite the progress ,
against cancer since the ;
early part of this centruy, J
the total numbers of new
cases each year continue1
to' rise. "In the HQ's," the,

publication states, "there
were an i estimated 3.3
million cancer deaths,
over 6.5 S million t new
cancer cases. 5 and, .more,
than , ten ; million people
under medical care for
cancer." -,.
In a section on the
prevention of the disease,
the Society points out that
"most lung cancers are
caused by cigarette smok
ing, and most skin cancers
by frequent overexposure
to direct sunlight."
In discussing occupa
tional and environmental
factors, Facts and Figures
includes examples , of
cancers that could be
prevented such as bladder
cancer among workers in
the dye industry and lung
cancer in asbestos workers
; especially those
workers who also smoke
cigarettes.
The most optimistic
trends continue to be in
the area of diagnosis and
treatment. Because of
; this, the American Cancer
Society's education pro
gram focuses on six priori
ty sites: lung, colon
rectum, breast, uterus,
oral cavity and skin. The
program explains how
people can help protect
themselves against cancer
and stresses the impor
tance of careful attention
to possible warning signs
of thejdisease through
self-examination techni
ques and regular medical
examinations.
The report also
describes fourteen cancers
which used to be con
sidered largely incurable.
It states that "today they
are being cured in many
cases, predominantly
because of chemotherapy;
advances," and lists the
following as examples of
this progress: acute lym
phocytic leukemia, adult
myelogenous leukemia, '
Hodgkin's disease,
histiocytic lymphoma,;1 '
Burkitt's, lymphoma,;
Ewing's sarcoma, Wilms,
tumor, rhabdomyosar-i
coma, choriocarcinoma,
testicular cancer, ovarian
cancer, breast cancer and
osteogenic sarcoma.
Facts and Figures is
recognized as a standard
reference work in its field. :
It is an annual publication
of the American Cancer
Society which presents a
comprehensive picture of
cancc - in the United States
today.
In the middle ages, velvet

and for the Church.
