Survey Found Many Women Misinformed About Cancer Sixty-three percent of American women think that if there's no family history of cancer,they're not likely to develop the disease,a new survey found. In fact,most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer,according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists ( ACOG)（美国妇产科医师学会）,which sponsored the survey.
"Too many women are dying from cancer,"Dr.Douglas W.Laube,ACOG's immediate past president, said during a Friday teleconference."An estimated 200,070 women will die in the U.S.this year,and over 600 , 078 women will be diagnosed with cancer.The results of this survey found a worrisome（令人担忧的） gap in women's knowledge about cancer."
Based on the findings,ACOG is increasing its efforts to educate women about cancer and the need for regular screening tests.
Although the survey found many misconceptions（错误观念）about cancer , 76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease. However,only 52 percent said they were doing enough to reduce that risk.And 10 percent said they hadn't done anything in the past years to lower their risk.17 percent said they wouldn't change their lifestyles, even if changes would lower their cancer risk. Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.
Twenty percent said they didn't want to know if they had cancer. In response to these findings,ACOG will launch on Oct.29 a new website-Protect & Detect:What Women Should Know about Cancer.The guide is designed to help women to take charge of their health and improve their understanding of their risk of cancer-and the lifestyle steps they can take to cut that risk.
选项 Some American women are too afraid of finding cancer to undergo screening.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案A
解析由文章第三段最后一句话“The results of this survey found a worrisome gap in women ' s knowledge about cancer.”可知，很多美国女性对癌症知识了解很少。故选A。
由文章第二段“In fact , most people who develop cancer have no family history of cancer…”可知，没有家族癌症病史的人也会患癌症。故选B。
通读全文，文章中并未提及男性患癌症的情况，因此也就无从比较死于癌症的女性和男性数量的多少。故选C。
由文章第五段“…76 percent of women surveyed did say they feel knowledgeable about how they can reduce their risk of the disease.”可知，大部分女性对于如何减少癌症风险还是有一定了解的。故选B。
由文章第六段第三句话“17 percent said they wouldn ' t change their lifestyles , even if changes would lower their cancer risk.”可知，即使改变生活方式会降低癌症风险，但是有些女性还是不愿意去改变。故选A。
由文章第七段第一句话“Many women said they were afraid to undergo screening out of fear of finding cancer.”可知，很多美国女性因为害怕被检查出癌症而不敢去检查。故选A。
由文章最后一段可知，针对这些发现，AGOG将建立一个网站来指导女性了解自己的健康状况及提高她们对自己会患癌症的风险的理解，并未提及AGOG对女性关于癌症的教育受到了人们的感激。故选C。
