Castlegar FOR BREAST CANCER Extreme surgery no longer trend - By STEVE KERSTETTER The Canadian When Norma Hutcheson of Ottawa discovered she had breast cancer, it didn't take her long to decide what kind of treatment she wanted. Although her doctor recommended removing one entire breast, Hutcheson was Thitént on keeping the surgery as minimal as possible: “T was pretty determined that that's the way I should she recalls. In the end, Hutcheson had her way. She had a lumpectomy to remove the peanut-sized tumor and a bit of the surrounding tissue and a few weeks of radiation therapy after surgery. All that was more than four years ago. Since then, she's shown no signs of any recurring tumors, and she says the experience with cancer actually improved her outlook on life. g°, ‘Most doctors now prefer to do what is known as modified radicals’ “As far as I'm concerned, I feel much better able to cope with the rest of my life,” she says. “I feel an inner strength that I didn't have before.” DOCTORS RESIST Hutcheson’s case is a good illustration of the trend away from extreme surgery for the treatment of breast cancer and several other common forms of cancer. Yet it is atrend some doctors continue to resist. For more than half a century, the treatment of choice for breast cancer was the Halsted or radical mastectomy, a crippling and disfiguring operation that involves remo: the breast, the muscles of the chest wall underneath and lymphatic tissue in the armpit. Most doctors now prefer to do what is known as modified radicals, and some are moving toward much less extensive surgery. Dr. Richard Margolese of Montreal, a leading authority on breast cancer, believes that lumpectomies will turn out to be the best treatment for most — not all — women. But, even he says it could be several years before the scientific evidence is strong enough to allow doctors to promote lumpectomies without any reservations. “The theory is a good theory, and it may be true,” he says. “But right now, it's not proven.” OFFERS CHOICE For the time being, Margolese tells his own patients all he can about the case for and against lumpectomy. He talks of the growing in favor of Pp y, but leaves the final choice to his patients. “It’s our job to help people make choices,” he says. “I explain and discuss and you ask me questions and I answer and I try to help you come to a decision.” A woman who feels strongly about the way she looks may opt for a lumpectomy because she'll be able to save most of her breast. A woman more concerned with taking every possible precaution to prevent any recurrence of cancer may be willing to sacrifice her entire breast for added peace of mind. The scalpel has long been the main weapon of attack in breast cancer and other kinds of cancer that take the form of tumors. But it is not the only weapon and it is often not used by itself. Radiation has been used successfully to treat early stages of Hodgkin's disease, a cancer of the lymphatic system or system of nodes and vessels that returns fluid to the bloodstream from various parts of the body. HELPS CHILDREN Chemotherapy; the controlled use of _ poisonous chemicals, has greatly improved the treatment of acute leukemia in children and is often used against-cancer that has spread to other parts of the body from the original tumor. IF YOU HAVE THE SYMPTOMS, SEE A DOCTOR By The Canadian Press It goes without saying that people who have symptoms often associated with cancer should waste no time seeing a doctor for a checkup. “It'll never be beaten if it isn't diagnosed — it's as simple_as that,” says Anne Coy of Toronto, president of the Patients’ Rights Association. The Cancer Society has long stressed that same point, but Coy says her group still gets complaints from people who claim doctors aren't taking their concerns seriously THINK ABOUT IT Finding out you have cancer is a numbing experience, but it's certainly not an automatic death sentence. Here are some further thoughts worth considering: @ The first couple of days after diagnosis are almost certain to be trying. “The shock may numb your ability to think clearly for a short while,” says Marilyn Dunlop, medical writer for the Toronto Star and author of Under. standing Cancer, a guide for patients and their families to be published this year. Dunlop says it makes sense to wait a bit for the shock to pass before making any major decisions. Make sure you get referred to a cancer specialist you can talk to openly and freely. Dr. Oliver Cope offers this advice about selecting a doctor in his book The Breast: “When you meet your physician, tell him your doubts and ask him your questions. If he responds, well and good. If not, seek another." @ Demand to know what alternatives you have in treatment. “Learning all you can about your case and the alternatives means you can control the way your illness is handled,” Marion Morra and Eve Potts write in their book Choices. “If you make a decision to go ahead with surgery without sufficient testing or a second opinion, you limit the possibility for other alternatives right from the very start.” © Once a decision is made, make sure you know exactly what's involved. The Canadian Patient's Book of Rights by Lorne E. Rozovsky puts it this way: “It is important for patients to ask what the risks are, to ask what is going to be done to them. Patients must ask for clarification if they do not understand, even if it forces the physician to repeat himself.” @ Don't try to cope with cancer all by yourself. Share your concerns with family members and friends and seek outside help such as the support services provided by the cancer society. “With cancer, it's very lonely,” says Norma Hutcheson, who gives high marks to the Coping with Cancer group she joined in Ottawa after treatment for breast cancer. “Most people are very frightened — whether they'll admit it or not.” FOR PRISONERS No salary increase OTTAWA (CP) — Federal prisoners won't get the pay raise they requested to help cover increased costs of can teen items such as cigarettes, the Correctional Service of Canada has decided. Wages for those going to school or performing clerical, industrial, cleaning and kit chen work in prisons will continue at 1981 levels of $3.15 to $7.55 a day, says Elman said the pay plan is already considered generous by world standards. Federal prisoners in the United States, for example, are paid an average of 20 cents to 76 cents an hour for industrial jobs and 11 cents to 38 cents an hour for non industrial jobs, Elman said. On an hourly basis, Canadian prisoners would earn be tween 52 cents and 98 cents, Larry Elman, acting director he said. of the service's inmate re Elman said prisoners’ pay source g division. is sup to be eq to what a minimum wage | earner in the community would have as disposable in. come. He says the federal minimum wage hasn't in creased since the prison pay plan was revised in 1981 The correctional service provides prisoners with the basic requirements of food, clothing, furnishings and medical needs. BUYS TELEVISIONS Prisoners pay for personal entertainment items such as television sets, radios and tape decks, as well as candy, stationery, soap and cigar. ettes. Japan screens babies TOKYO (REUTER) — Japan has become the first country to launch a mass screening program to combat one of the most common forms of cancer in babies. The program, is where parents post a piece of filter paper dipped in the baby'é urine to a local health centre for analysis. It will be extended thorughout Japan within two years and is expected to re sult in a 76 per cent reduction in deaths from neuroblas. toma, a malignant tumor in the adrenal gland that is usually fatal if not detected before symptoms appear Inmates are also required to put 25 per cent of their earnings into a savings ac count so they'll have funds when they're released. Graham Stewart, research director forthe John Howard Society of Ontario, said pris oners spend about 80 per cent of their money on cigar. arettes. Stewart said he thinks they will feel betrayed about the lack of a pay raise. When pay was revised in 1981, in mates believed they would see a significant increase in their purchasing power, he said. Instead, the correctional service said inmates would have to pay for more things, including the provincial sales tax on cigarettes which at the time almost doubled the price of a package. Stewart said prisoners are cynical about the pay system, which he says is not a reim bursement for labor but a way of distributing money to pay for things like cigarettes and stationery. “By calling it pay and sug. gesting it relates to the min imum wage is really mis leading the community.” Talking to the——, oS. tlegar News Do you have a news story or feature you want to tell us about?

Lung cancer is the most common form of major malignant cancers, followed by breast cancer in women. Cancer of the colon or rectum is also high. “Survey of 1.9 million cases at 719 hospitals Crwcago Tribune Graphic: Source. American College of Surgeons, 1979 Both radiation therapy and chemotherapy are often used after surgery to improve a patient's chances for long-term survival. However, both have severe side-effects such as nausea and fatigue. Scientists are still looking for better ways of concentrating the impact of radiation and drugs on cancerous cells and keeping the harm done to healthy cells to a minimum. Margolese says doctors are already doing a much better job of tailoring surgery and other forms of treatment to the needs of individual patients. The result is fewer recurrences of breast cancer and lower mortality rates that will become more apparent as the years go by. “It's better now than it was 10 years ago,” he says. “We are clearly on a trend of salvaging some of the breast cancer patients who would otherwise have died.” CONDUCTS TRIALS One of the reasons for today’s better treatments is the extensive use of clinical trials — where researchers study how various forms of cancer at different stages of and cancer treatment centres across the country. Dr. Joe Pater of Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., the director of the trials, says the basic idea is to come up with treatments that are more effective, treatments with fewer side-effects or treatments that are easier to administer. Perhaps 800 cancer patients volunteer for one of the dozen or more different trials going on in any given year, Pater says. A few are patients with advanced stages of cancer where conventional forms of treatment have been exhausted. Most of the volunteers are involved in trials with a potential to improve current standards of treatment in the foreseeable future. SEEK ANSWERS The trials aay answer numerous specific questions: Is more effe in the early stages of cancer of oe ovary? What combination of drugs is best for treating lung cancer. How does a doctor best protect patients being treated for leukemia against infections? The trials could conceivably produce major break- —— in treatment, but a more likely possibility is small development react to specific or of treatments. The National Cancer Institute of Canada, the research arm of the Canadian Cancer Society, now spends some $1 that will ly add up toa large number of ives saved. “Unfortunately, in cancer there are not many leaps forward,” Pater says. “But I think a more realistic hope is million a year on trials of one kind or another at step-by-step that are a little bit better . . .” Light wines are more popular TORONTO (CP) — Cana- dian light wines — those con. taining less alcohol than or. dinary wines —are growing in popularity, says a pro fessional winemaker. Mira Ananicz, who devel. ops wines for Chateau Gai Wines Ltd. of Niagara Falls, Ont., says one reason for the increase in sales of light wines is a public trend to ward lower consumption of alcohol. The average alcohol con- tent of a light wine is seven per cent, compared with about 11 per cent in regular wines. Ananicz, 40, who helped develop Chateau-Gai's Capis- tro dry white, said in an interview the winery now has a votateur. This is a special system which lets the alcohol content evaporate at a lower temperature while maintaining the mine's bou- quet and flavor. She said that at many win- eries, especially in the United States, light wines are pro duced by adding water to cut the alcohol content which, in turn, disturbs the quality. In the votateur system, the wine concentrate is heated to only 37 degrees Celsius to pasturize it instead of boiling point of 98 degrees. Another factor in achiev ing astandard of qu: i light wines, she sai timing of the harvest so that there is a correct sugar and acid balance in the fruit. “This means the grapes can be harvested earlier — NEW IN TOWN?
