Somewhere in this stran^v and; newly -noted; -racial' discrepancy researchers hope there lies a c'i;--to the overall cans*1 of cancer-�. buried beneath differences � in physiology, nutrition, emotion's rir
�. heredity.' � '�':'�".�'
..;�. Kilrlier this tnont'lv. Dr.; K.oniei
.Xagnyarna of. Chi ha, Japan, told the International'. College of Su'r-
rjjoons in A convention at Philadelphia '.that more Japanese died from stomach:cancer.-than Americans. '�'. . ;�". . . "�"'
These findings and hopes were revealed here', recently .by- Dr. Walter 15, Quiseriberry of Honi'r lulu, executive director.-'/of the Hawaii Cancer Society.
Hawaii, 'as Dr. Quisenberry pointed out, provides an .almost.1 ideal spot for checking racial differences in disease: 'Its popula-.tion is made up of .37.7 per-cent Japanese, 2-1.4 � per cent llawai-iaris and part. Hawaiian*, 12.7 'per-cent Filipinos,'' <>.<> per: cent Chir
I nese and four per cent iniscel-
I laheous races. ..=
4 Dr. Quisenberry readily admitted that following a long study-of: death" rates,, he was- startled to find that the -Japanese .stomach, cancer mortality rates, were-extraordiharily-high. . :
