“Is it too late. Doctor?
>>
SOONER OR LATER, one out of every five living Americans may ask
his doctor this question about cancer.
The answer may be: *'Yes... Vm afraid so../'
But, today, the doctor can say to an increasing number of cancer
victims. No, it ts hy no rneatis too late... There is much that we can do
.. .In fact, your chances for recovery are good/’
T his heartening reply reflects the great
progress of medical science against can
cer. And as the years go by, there is every
reason to believe that the ancient dream of
conquering thif disease in all its forms will
be realized.
When and how soon, depends to a large
degrfee upon expanding and continuing the
research program of the American Cancer
Society. This year the Society needs five mil
lion dollars for research alone. ».
Each year the American Cancer Society is
forced to reject for sheer lack of money many
applications from scientists and doaors who
are ^ger to carry forward researdi. And who
knows but that among these iinfnlfillc^
requests there might be proposals which
would lead to great advances agamst cancer?
WHAT RESEARCH HAS ACCOMPLISHED
Cancer Research supported by the Sodety
has already yielded new surgical tedmiques
and improved methods of using x-ray and
More nceotly, researdi with radio
active isotopes has revealed facts about
processes heretofore completely hidden in
the body’s cells. It has also given scientists
new knowledge of hormones and certain
anti-cancer drugs—thus making possible
more effective control of some types of
cancer.
YOUR PART IN CANCER RESEARCH
Someday the moment of triumph over can
cer will come. But it will come only through
cimtinuing research in physics, chemistry,
biology, and medicine.
Knowledge from all these fields is vital,
for cancer is the largest, most complicated
problem ever put to sdence. So thousands of
trained minds and an arsenal of complex and
expensive laboratory equipment must be
kept at work until the fight is won.
Part of the money which you donate will
support research and help to prevent the loss
of millions of Eves to cancer. Give—and give
generously—so that sometime in the future
doctors may never have to face another
patient and say: 'Tm afraid it’s too late.”
Remember cancer can strike anyone, but
you can strike back. There’s hope—if you
give for research and the other vital activi
ties of the American Cancer Society.
