Importance Of Checkups For Cancer Stressed
Dr LeRoy Davis of the American Cancer Society Frederick County Unit notes a society study finds checkups boost enthusiasm for physicians advice among goers while non goers still view doctors favorably. Women and higher socio economic groups show greater favor, but attitudes may reflect doctors perceived stance or patient psychology. Public uncertainty about doctors views on cancer checkups remains.
