Women Should Have Regular Cancer Examinations The American Cancer Society has some good news and bad news about breast cancer. The bad news is that one out of every 10 American women are expected to develop breast cancer. The good news is that, if detected early, it can be suc- cessfully treated in nine of 10 cases. For this reason, the American Cancer Society’s North Carolina division has launched an extensive breast cancer awareness campaign. There is remarkable suc- cess in treating early breast eancer. Finding the cancer at its onset means that less ex- tensive surgery may be per- formed and that the chances of survival are greatest. Ear- ly detection can not just save livs, it often can save breasts. The American Cancer Society recommends three tests to detect breast cancer: *Breast self-examination. Women 20 and over should examine their breasts mon- thly. *Professional examination. Women 20 to 40 should ask This year’s prime time special: $400° off a Simplicity 3110 riding mower with 36” mow- ing deck. B Our patented Cushion- rr Ride construction.

The society recommends this low- dose breast X-ray for detec- ting tumors too small to be felt by hand. Mammography often can find cancers when they are easiest to treat and before the woman or her doc- tor knows it’s there. Women 35 to 40 should have a baseline mammogram for future comparisons, accor- ding to the American Cancer Society. Women 40 to 49 should have a mammogram every year or two, depending on doctor’s orders. Women 50 and over should have one done annually. Despite the evidence that mammography is an effec- tive tool in finding earl breast cancers, a Gallup po says that only 19 percent of women over 50 have annual mammograms. This is why the campaign was launched-- to tell women that they have safe, reliable tests to find ear- ly breast cancer. Approximately 3200 women in North Carolina will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and all women should consider themselves at risk for the disease and should undergo the early detection tests. Those at highest risk are women who have a personal or family history of the disease. Other risk factors include a high fat diet, first full-term pregnan- cy after age 30, and a long menstrual history. However, a recent American Cancer Society study revealed that those risk factors account for only a small percentage of cases. The majority of cases are women with none of the traditonally accepted risk factors. ‘‘We hope to dispel women’s fears about breast cancer, althought it is the most common type of cancer among women, it doesn’t have to kill,” said Kay Holshouser of the North Carolina unit. “Women have to learn more to become more vigilant about their own health, and that means become more aware of their bodies.” For more information, con- tact the American Cancer Society’s local unit at 482-1566.

Martin Thursday announced a policy plan designed to address the health care and social service needs of older adults in North Carolina. To emphasize the importance of meeting those needs and to focus public at- tention on the many contribu- tions made by older adults to local communities, the Governor also proclaimed 1988 as ‘The Year of the Older Adult’’ in North Carolina. : “The older citizens of North Carolina are a great resource to this state. They have a vast store of knowledge, skills and abilities acquired over a lifetime which they con- tribute to their communities,” Gov. Martin said. “During 1988, ‘The Year of the Older Adult,’ we will give special recognition to those contributions and help identify even further oppor- tunities for such community involvement. This is also the year we will begin to develo better ways to provide healt care and social services needed by our older citizens.” The Governor’s plan pro- vides for a $5 million budget appropriation request for the 1988 short session of the General Assembly. That re- quest includes: * $857,100 for in-home ser- vices allowing older adults to remain in their own homes rather than moving to rest homes or nursing homes; Turn to Page 7-C Mrs. Ayotte is a registered nurse and works for Stowe- Pharr Mills in McAdenville.
