Cancer likely to hit 20 in 100 people, physician says
Dr. Morton L. Levin of the New York State Health department reported a six year study showing 20 out of 100 persons can be expected to develop cancer. Women face 22 percent while men are 18 percent. Breast cancer is most common, followed by skin, stomach, colon, and cervix. Differences by sex and age are noted. State cancer control units have expanded nationwide with federal aid.
