X-Ray Cancer Peril

New alarms are being
‘sounded “about. the danger
millions of Americans face from
medical and dental X-rays.

The latest_ warning, from
the National Cancer Institute,

: sald that X-rays used to detect

breast cancer may actually
oxpose women to a greater risk

: of developing the disease. Con-
gressional committees, consum-
er groups and medical research-
ers have also highlighted the
peril. of unnecessary exposure
of X-ray radiation.

» @°If you area man in the
reproductive years, ask ‘for a

reproductive organs from X-
ray exposure.

But there are pi
that can be taken, according to
consumer watehdog Ralph Na-
der’s' Health Research Group.
After studying ‘reports from
doctors, dentists, and health
investigation g groups, they gave
20 ways patients can protect
themselves:

@ Ask the physician, den-
tist or radiologist who proposes
an X-ray to explain what
benefit will result from it.
Unless there are firm reasons
to believe it will contribute toa
diagnosis, don’t have one.

© Ask if previous X-rays
can be used instead of new
exposures. Sometimes a repeat
examination is. necessary’ to

observe changes in a condition, °-

but often the doctor is unaware
that previous X-rays have been
taken.

© Keep a complete record
of your. X-ray history and make
this available to:your doctor or
dentist.

e Express special concerr.
1o your doctor about the need
to X-ray children—the potential
for undesirable effects is great-
er in younger patients.

e Women who may be
pregnant should tell the doctor

. or. dentist—don't wait: to be

asked. X-rays which place. a
ripening egg or. developing
embryo or ‘fetus in the main’
beam should be avoided unless
absolutely necessary. <

e-If. you are pregnant, .
avoid all X-rays of the lower
back or abdominal region un-
less there are strong. indica-
tions of a serious condition.

If possible, have a physi:
cal examination and. a dental
checkup before a planned preg-
nancy. Any X-rays of the
abdominal regions should be
done -at least: three months
before a planned pregnaneyzI

e Avoid being fluoro.’
scoped. . The ’ fluoroscope in-
volves greater exposure to the

only if the doctor has to observe

movement or change.

For this Year’s Kokanee .

Regional fisheries _biolo-
gists for the Fish and Wildlife
Branch in the Kootenays said
this week that as a result of
extreme low water in spawning
streams around Kootenay
Lake, special measures would
be required to help kokanee
runs this year,

Fisheries people are parti-
cularly concerned over Redfish
‘and Mill Creeks on the West
Arm. The Redfish Creek run is
expected to be in excess of
5,000 fish and it is estimated
that there is only enough water
to successfully spawn 2,000.

+ In order to help provide
adequate spawning, Fish and
Wildlife Branch personnel will
be trapping kokanee as they
enter the creek. These fish will
be hand spawned and the eggs
taken upstream to areas pres-
ently inaccessible to fish and
planted in the gravel.

Mill Creek is even more
precarious as it is threatened
by complete dry up in its lower
reaches, The Branch's course of
action will depend on when the
fish arrive and water levels at
that time.°

Should there be too little
water a beach seine net will be
used: to collect the mature fish
and the Redfish Creek opera-
tion will be repeated with the
fertilized eggs. being taken
