«liant Women Over35
Ail pregnant women past
the age of 35 face a high risk of
mongoloid births and should
be offered a test to determine
whether their child will be
normal, medical researchers
have advised.
The test should also be given
to expectant mothers of all
ages who are Rh-negative,
diabetic, have high blood pres
sure, or have a family history
of defective children, accord
ing to the report published
recently in the Journal of the
American Medical Associa
tion.
The test is known as amnio
centesis. It is a highly accu
rate and safe procedure for
both the mother and the un
born child, the researchers for
the National Institute of Child
and Human Development in
Bethesda, Md., said recently.
Amniocentesis involves the
extraction and analysis of
fluid from the sac surrounding
the fetus inside the pregnant
woman. The test can predict
many potential abnormalities
and can detect the sex of the
baby some months before
birth.
The institute's report said
the test "served to provide
reassurance, assistance in
having normal children, and,
in numerous instances, avoid
ance of abortion.
Of 1,040 women who under
went the test during the five
year study period, more than
95 percent were reassured
that there was no abnormality
in the fetus, the researchers
said. Another 39 women learn
ed that their child would be
seriously deformed and elect
ed to have abortions. Diagnos
tic accuracy was measured at
99.4 percent.
Premature announcements
of breakthroughs in treating
cancer or sweeping state
ments that common sub
stances cause cancer are hurt
ing efforts to inform Ameri
cans of real medical progress,
researchers said recently.· -
The officials said public pro
nouncements must tread a
fine line between too much
hope and too much caution.
"The worst thing, in my
opinion, is to have a patient
diagnosed as having cancer
and told there's nothing that
can be done," said Dr. Guy
Newell, deputy director of the
National Cancer Institute.
Newell and Dr. Benjamin
Byrd, president of the Amerl
can Cancer Society, stressed
progress has been made to
ward fighting cancer on many
fronts, including the use of
surgery, chemotherapy and
drugs. The main aim at this
point, they said, is to lengthen
survival and not necessarily to
find a cure.
"I don't think there's ever
going to be one cure because
there's not one cause," Newell
continued. "Five or seven
years ago we didn't even talk
about a cure. We talked about
•remission and survival curv
es. Now we get flat survival
, curves and that often means
cure."
The two said 85 percent of
all cancers are caused by the
environment and 50 percent
come from known causes,
mainly tobacco. Of the re
mainder, there are indications
that diets high in fat and
cholesterol may cause some
cancer just as they contribute
to heart disease.
Newell and Byrd cautioned
against raising hopes based on
controlled experiments where
limited success is reached in
closely monitored environ
ments.
"The anxiety that come up
in a cancer patient's family
when something is going
wrong somewhere and they're
not a part of it is beyond
belief," Byrd said. "One of the
worst problems one has in -
dealing with cancer patients is
false hope.'' (NNPA)
