Formation of the American Society for the Control of Cancer
On May 22 1913 distinguished doctors and lay persons formed the American Society for the Control of Cancer. Delegates from ten medical societies gathered to educate on symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prevention and to compile cancer statistics. The society, incorporated in 1922, has boosted physician involvement and clinic approvals while lay education lags. Dr Bloodgood noted five year cure rates rose after 1920 where education was strongest, underscoring public education as essential until a cure or prevention is found. The society launched the Womens Field Army to build an enlightened lay network promoting cancer control methods, inviting public enlistment with a one dollar yearly fee or smaller contributions. This marks the first regular enlistment of women in this fight, a war to save lives.
