April is Cancer Control Month, the ~l American Cancer Society's annual ?'educational and fund-raising cam . paign. This April, more than 40,000 North Carolina volunteers will initiate a National Breast Cancer Detection Program through door-to-door distri bution of an American Cancer So ciety leaflet, "Now Breast Cancer vHas Virtually Nowhere to Hide." ?J The emphasis on breast cancer is designed to alert women and their ' physicians to the ease and lmpor ; tance of early breast cancer detec ? tion, especially mammography. * One in 10 women will develop I breast cancer sometime in her life. I In 1987, it is estimated that 3,000 North Carolina women will be diag * nosed with breast cancer. With early J detection, 90 percent, or 2,700 of the v 3,000 women diagnosed with breast ?_ cancer this year, can be treated suc i cess fully. Beside monthly breast self-exams * and periodic breast exams per .- formed by physicians, the American Cancer Society recommends a sched ule of mammography. Mammo '* grams are low-dose x-rays that help "see" breast cancer before there's a "lump, when survival rates are near 100 percent. Women 35 to 39 years old should have baseline mammograms which can be used later for comparisions. Women 40 to 49 years old should have mammograms every one to two years as their doctors direct; women older than 50 should have mammo grams every year. In addition to distributing lifesav ing messages, volunteers will be asking for financial support to assist with educational programs and serv ices for cancer patients. The American Cancer Society is the largest source of private cancer research funds in the United States, second only to the National Cancer Institute, a federal government agency. American Cancer Society research grants in effect in North Carolina to tal $3,996,917. At the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, 20 Society-sponsored grants are in ef fect. At Duke University Medical Center, II grants are in effect, and five are in effect at Bowman Gray School of Medicine.
