A Princeton survey summarized by George Gallup reports rising cancer awareness over ten years. More than half of respondents can name one or more symptoms, and belief in curability with early treatment has grown, despite some still thinking cancer is contagious.
Medical authorities with the American Cancer Society have set up 251 cancer detection centers and nearly 600 cancer clinics. The centers found one cancer case in every 125 examined well people, with 10 percent showing conditions that could lead to cancer if untreated. Common symptoms named include bumps or lumps, nonhealing sores, persistent pain, enlarging tumors, unexplained bleeding, swelling, poor appetite, chronic indigestion, and weight loss. A large share said the cause of cancer is unknown. A separate obituary notes former oilman John A. Rowe, 59, died in Houston.
