BOSTON AP Cancer of the uterus has increased dra matically in the 19705 and re searchers say it probably re sults from the popular pre scription of estrogen to women going through menopause study to be published today says this form of cancer in creased at least 40 per cent and as much as 150 per cent among middleaged women in the United States between 1969 and 1973 Another study being published with it in the New England Journal of Medicine points to estrogen medication as the probable reason Estrogen is frequently pre scribed to reduce hot flashes irritability and depressionall common symptoms of men opause Dr Noel Weiss the leader of research team at the Uni versity of Washington in Seattle which prepared the statistical study said in an interview The important point is that it is unlikely the disease is due to some characteristic of the women rather than the medi cine they are taking USE INCREASING Use of estrogen to treat men opause has increased rapidly he said Across the US the dollar value of the drug pre scribed in 1973 was almost four times higher than 10 years ear lier The second study directed by Dr Thomas Mack of the Uni versity of Southern California concluded that there is high level of statistical significan ce to the theory that estrogen causes uterine cancer Other studies published in re cent months conclude the chan cc of getting uterine cancer is five to seven times greater among women who take estro gen during menopause Mack found that the risk of cancer was less if women took the drug in monthly cycles with intervals of four or more days when they used no estrogen at all But even when the dose was low the risk increased three fold Mack said that when estro gens are prescribed they should be given at the lowest ef fective dose for the shortest possible time Estrogen is also an ingredient of birth control pills However the pill also contains progestro gens and doctors believe this offsets the estrogens suspected cancercausing properties Welfare OWEN SOUND Ont CP The number of welfare recipients in Ontario dropped by 106 per cent from January to the end of April James Tay lor minister of community and social services said Monday Speaking to delegates at the annual convention of the On tario Municipal Social Services Association Mr Taylor said more realistic eligibility stand ards for recipients since April closer cooperation with Can ada Manpower offices and mu nicipal administrators were major reasons for the decline He said 1000 of 4400 persons referred by local welfare of fices to Manpower during the first two months of the program were directly referred to jobs One in four of the 1000 got jobs One interesting statistic is that about 25 per cent of all recipients referred to Canada Manpower for assistance never showed up the minister noted Cameron past president Laurel Noble secretary Shirley Crone treasurer Shirley McCrone first vicepresident Shelagh Blenkarn president and Liliane Murphy

explains shat the same dose of drug will work differently in different peoples bodies To be effective he said drug has to reach certain strength in the blood and be maintained at that level for as long as necessary Some people eliminate the drug more quickly than others The only way to determine whether drug is being admin istered adequately is to monitor its progress with blood tests Otherwise the dosage may be given too frequently and per haps become toxic to the patient or too indrequcntly and be ineffcct ivc IIFIIII IS VARY This is one reason that dose of aspirin may work rapidly and

is to be rational then one should have this knowledge It costs lot of money but especially with the lifesaving drugs that prevent hemorrhage or reduce blood pressure each individual should be tested to determine the blood level over period of time so that rea sonable frequency of dosage can be established Dr outts research is sup ported by $40000 in grants from the Medical Itescarch ouncil of Canada The money goes to wards supplies and equipment and helps pay the salaries of six research assistants DRIGS ISOLATED In the research the drugs are isolated in samples with ma chine called gas chromato graph mass spectrometer This is an important piece of equipment because it can find presence of drugs in such small quantities about one thousandth of the size of grain of sugar and then identify what thcdrug is It was through the use of machine such as this that re search was able to determine that one of the ingredients in common headache medication had cumulative effect over long period of time which dam aged cells in the kidney and liver No drug has just one ac tion Dr Coutts said They have other sideactions which may have potentially toxic ef fect If you take lot of drug you can get the desired effect plus an accumuldation of side effects This was particularly impor tant to people who used over thecounter medication found in supermarkets and drug stores Dr Coutts said
