Lung Cancer Threat To Nation

CHICAGO AP cancer of the lung is nearing a national calamity. A ACS estimate says 91,000 will be struck in 1975 and 81,000 will die. Dr Bernard Roswit cites cigarettes as almost entirely responsible and notes rising deaths among women. He warns most cases are too advanced for surgery and that radiation and drugs offer little hope. VA radiologists studied 8,000 patients since 1958, with only 3.8 percent alive after two years and 1.5 percent after five years.
