CANCER DEATH-RATE
AN “APPARENT” RISE? “Increased longevity must be set side by side with improved diagnosis as a very important cause of the apparent rise of the death rate from malignant disease in modern times,” says Dr. B. Holmes, of Cambridge, in “Cancer and Scientific Research. ’ ’ Nevertheless, cancer remains the deadliest foe of human life, and everybody should be interested in the effort that is being undertaken by the Empire Cancer Crusade to organise forces for its extermination. New Zealand must do its share, even if only for the benefit of the cancer sufferers in our own land, so that the proper methods of treatment will be made available for them. Incidentally, the crusade’s principal message is one of hope, as it is desired that everyone should be -informed that cancer (like any other disease) in its early stages is usually curable by proper treatment.
