Cancer: Symptoms & Treatment History (1940s) [DVD]
$12.99
Cancer is an interesting short film that explains the signs and symptoms of cancer and its treatment. It features Mr. Bert Marshall, an average man who was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Aside from illustrations of the human anatomy and how cancer cells develop, the film also shows the disease is not only a physical burden but also an emotional weight by showing Mr. Marshall getting depressed and worried. Mr. Marshall is shown sitting on a bench at a park and deeply worried about telling his family about the disease. This educational film also features how cancer is treated by using x-ray fluoroscopy. Most importantly, the film also gave emphasis on identifying the "7 danger signs of cancer" which include (1) any sore that does not heal; (2) a lump or thickening of the breast or elsewhere; (3) unusual bleeding or discharge; (4) persistent indigestion; (5) difficulty swallowing; (6) persistent hoarseness or cough; and (7) any change in normal bowel movements. It also presents some possible causes of cancer like frequent exposure to sunlight, product irritation, and constant exposure to radiation without adequate protection. The film also refutes the common myths about the cancer. Dr. Swanson explains to Mr. Marshall and his family that the disease is not hereditary and that it does not only strike old people but everyone can get the disease. The film concludes with a positive note that doctors, scientific researchers, and institutions like the American Cancer Society are ardently looking for ways not only to cure the dreaded disease but also to inform the public.
