Cancer Overtaking Heart Disease As State's Number One Killer RALEIGH -- Death from heart attacks, the number one killer in North Carolina for more than 50 years, is giving away to cancer as the leading cause of death. Heart attack deaths have shown a steady decline since 1973 when 9,0% such fatalities were recorded, according to the Public Health Statistics Branch of the Division of Health Services. A total of 8,339 heart attack deaths were reported in 1976. I wish to thank everyone for their visits, cards, flow ers and many kind deeds during my recent illness. Your thoughtful ness will always be remembered. ? Jean Minshew (f On the other hand, cancer deaths have been steadily rising since 1914 when records were first started. The disease claimed a record-high number of deaths in 1976 -- 8.245. Since 1970 the number of cancer deaths is up 26 percent, with lung cancer ac counting for most of the increase. Statistics reveal that the incidence of lung cancer in women is rising at an alarming rate. Lung cancer, cancer of the breast (in women), colon - rectum and prostate cancer accounted for nearly half of all cancer deaths in North Carolina last year. Lung cancer alone killed 1.815 people. Since 1970. lung cancer jumped 34 percent, prostate cancer 14 per cent. breast cancer 25 percent and colon - rectum cancer 25 percent. The U.S. Army presently has openings for young people with an aptitude for foreign languages. in contrast to little change in national levels, except for lung cancer. Noticeable improvement occured only in cervical cancer among white women. According to Dr. Isa Grant, assistant State Health Director, part of the reason for the increase in cancer is better and earlier diagnosing which she said is essential to curing the disease. She also linked cancer to the lack of fiber in the diet and environmental factors. The public health official associated the increase in lung cancer with smoking, particularly among women. As regards the decline in heart attacks. Dr. Grant cited a shift away from high tar and nicotine cigarettes, blood pressure screening and decreased consumption of food high in saturated fats. She also contended that an awareness of the value of proper diet, exercise and sensible weight, have contributed to the decline in heart attacks.
