As A Killer (}f 'Men Cancer Of The Prostate Second Only To Lung Cancer v • nrtimnn « ■< . • V * ij IV IJI/II vi\. \ l IlCdC articles are part of a series dealing with different types of cancer with respect to geo graphical patterns of the state and risk factors). Cancer of the prostate, se cond only to lung cancer as a killer of men, appears confin ed mostly to certain counties in North Carolina, according to a statistical study recently completed by the Division of Health Services. High risk counties are found throughout the state, but ex treme northeast counties ap pear at particular risk. After adjusting statistics for age, race and sex differences a mong county populations, the 10 counties with the highest death rates for the 1972 - 76 period were: Hertford, Chow an. Pasquotank, Camden, Da re. Haywood, Alexander. Yad kin, Chatham and Lee. Nationwide, prostate cancer is increasing, due largely to the fact that life span is increasing and prostatic can cer is markedly associated with the aging process of men, according to the study. The overall increase in Nor th Carolina's death rate for cancer of the prostate has been 14 percent since 1970 with white men accounting for most of the increase. Still. lUliUVtlllg IUUIC LIMill d 1UU percent increase during the 60's, the report noted that nonwhites were nearly twice as likely as whites to die of cancer of the prostate in 1976 This racial imbalance is also observed nationwide. A higher frequency of pro state cancer has also been noted in the north among whites and nonwhites Profes sional workers and relatives of people who died of prostate cancer had a higher frequency of the disease, as well as men who have been married The study revealed there is some evidence that the con sumption of protein and thia mine may be linked to pro state cancer among North Carolina's male population. The finding is consistent with higher frequency of the di sease among Japanese-Ame ncans than Japanese living in Japan. The Japanese diet tra ditionally includes mostly ve getable protein and low levels of thiamine. Although five-year survival rates have shown steady im provement, prostatic cancer is still highly fatal according to Dr. Isa Grant, assistant director of the Division of Health Services. The public health official said symptoms are about the same for both benign and malignant pro state tumors. She said this makes detection difficult and periodic examination vital Few cases of prostate can cer are diagnosed at the ear liest stage The five-year sur vival rate at the second grow th state ilocally invasive) is only 35 percent among North Carolina Cancer Registry pa tients At the third growth stage (regional spread), five year survival is about 20 per cent and eight percent at the fourth stage t widely spread > Check the ads in the Char lotte Post each week for the best bargains in town -- -- ’ -O'- • * Post Ads Bring Results Call 392-1306 Serving Our community Ramadan's Carpet and (Jphokterv Cleaning DEEP STEAM EXTRACTION Tf»e difference •* even deep down ground m dirt s extracted instead of bemg left in The results are truly •maiing Vans and cars interiors also cleaned ASK ABOUT OUR FLOOR MAINT ENANCE PLAN jl Carpets And Floors Maintained B' week ly Or monthly i COMMERCIAL and RESIDENTIAL FREE Estimates 596-9280 JOHN REID i/wiiuo uapuoi V/iiui Lit ucuvc* red the message.
