Oiu' Hundred Seconds To Health

THE CURE of cancer of the cervix, or opening of the uterus, is the gratifying result of j^ts early detection and immediate treatment. The Pap test, that rightfully honors its discoverer. Dr. Papanicolaou. is one of the most important reasons for the remark- _ ably high percentage of cures ‘ of cancers of the cervix. The test is a relatively sunp 1 e one. A smear taken directly from the cervix reveals Coleman with a high de gree of accuracy under the microscope the presence or absence of cancer

cells.

Unfortunately, the Pap test is so time-consuming that large segments of the population are still being deprived of the advantages of this important examination. New Technique Now a new and improved technique has been devised at the University of Wisconsin. It simplifies the method of testing so that the cancer story can be told within one hundred seconds. The new test depends for its accuracy on an electronic computer system which quickly analyzes the number and the character of the tissue cells smeared from the cervix of the womb. By this method, hundreds of smear examinations can now be performed in the tune that it formerly took for a single study. Additional Test The test will be used not as a total replacement for the Pap test, but as an additional one to make available diagnostic cervical smears for the mass population. The shining light of hope in overall cancer treatment is the successful cure of cancer of the cervix. The response to educational campaigns, and these newer techniques, have

paid happy dividends m the cures after the early detection of this hazard to the female population. • • • Q Is the teat for cancer of the cervix of the uterus a difficult or painful one? A: No. It is painleesiv performed in the doctor's office It can almost be compared to the swabbing of the throat for a culture. Q: Does the number of pregnancies in any way influence the possibility of cancer of any part of the uterus? A: There does not seem to be a relationship between the number of birtha. the difficulty or ease of childbirth, or the regularity of the menstrual cycle and the frequency of cancer of the female organs Q: Are fibroid tumors of the womb cancerous " A: Fibroid tumors are in themselves benign, non-mahg-nant or non-cancerous Sometimes, fibroid tumor* can, under special circumstances. develop cancerous possibilities. Although the frequency of this occurence is relatively small, all fibroid tumors should be kept under observation at the regular intervals suggested by the physi-

cian.

Q: Can fibroid tumors be removed without taking out the entire womb or uterus ? A: The extent of surgery for fibroids depends entirely on their location, their size, their appearance at the tune of operation, and the age of the patient. The judgment of the surgeon takes all these factors Into consideration in his decision to preserve portions of the female organs.
