Wacana 4
The American Cancer Society has announced a
sweeping revision in the, cancer-detection tests. The
new guidelines, intended only or people who have no
symptoms of cancer, or who arc not considered to heat
high risk, are designed to "deliver essentially the same
health benefit as previous society recommendations at
greatly reduced cost, risk and inconvenience to the
patient," says Dr. Saul B. Gusberg, president of the
society and gynecologist at Mount Sinai School of
Medicine in New York.
The Society, for example, no longer recommends
an annual chest X-ray and sputum test for cigarette
smokers and others who might incur lung cancer. Thus
far, these tests have not been shown to increase a
patient's chances of surviving lung cancer, even though
they may detect the disease in its early stages. The
"annual" Pap smear is changed to "at least once every
three years," after two initial negative tests a year apart,
for all women between 20 to 65 years old and for
younger women who are sexually active. It usually
takes many years to develop cervical cancer from pre-
cancerous lesions. Thus, an annual test to detect
abnormalities of the cervix is not necessary for most
women.
Other new recommendations include: a
proctosigmoidoscopic examination for colon-rectal
cancer every there to five years for those over 50; a
breast examination every three years for women under
40; an annual mammogram for women over 50; a
single "baseline" mammogram for women between 35
and 40 and as often as advised by a personal physician
for those under 50.
