Risk of getting cancer increasing, study says
By United Press International
NEW YORK - The risk of getting cancer has increased since 1970, primarily because people are living longer, and one of every three babies born in 1985 is expected to develop the disease eventually, the American Cancer Society says.
Based on current trends and statistics, about one in four males and one in five females will eventually die of cancer, wrote Herbert Seidman in the January-February issue of Ca: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, published by the American Cancer Society.
In 1970, it was estimated that one in six whites and one in seven blacks.
regardless of sex, would die of cancer. While the risk of dying from cancer has increased, Seidman and his cancer society associates also said that at least half of those who develop tumors will survive at least five more years.
CANCER IS THE second leading cause of death in the United States and will account for an estimated 462,000 deaths in 1985.
Seedman said the increasing risk of developing cancer is largely due to the fact that people are living longer.
For example, prostate cancer, which usually develops in older men, becomes as much or more of a threat than lung cancer for men if they live long enough.
Uruguay president to rule until elected officials enter
By United Press International
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay — Supreme Court President Rafael Addiego was named interim president of Uruguay yesterday to succeed Gen. Gregorio Alvarez, who stepped down to make way for the nation's first democratically elected government in 12 years.
The State Council asked Adiego to serve as president until March 1, when president-elect Julio Maria Sangiuetti is to be inaugurated, the government said. Addiéo was appointed by notification, calling it an enormous honor.
The Council, a group of prominent national figures. Supreme
Court members and top military officers, has acted as the executive branch since the 1973 military coup that ended Uruguay's long democratic tradition.
the nomination of Addiego capped the Council's final meeting before Friday's inauguration of the 130-member national Congress elected last November in the first democratic elections since 1971.
ALVAREZ, AN ARMY general,
presented his resignation Monday
night "in the firm belief that it
would be incongruous and incompatible for an elected legislative
branch and an irregularly (installed) executive branch to coexist as of Feb. 15."
