Education On Cancer
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Aug. 6. Up to 15,000 New Zealanders may be dying every year of forms of cancer which would yield to treatment if they were diagnosed in time. This is the view of the Cancer Society of New Zealand, which began its “Cancer Education Week” on Saturday. The purpose of the week is to alert the community to cancer and make it clear that the disease in most forms can be successfully treated if diagnosed early. New Zealand’s cancer cure rates are as high as anywhere in the world, but the gap between the total possible cures and those being achieved is still large.
