Taking Radioactive lodine Is As Simple As Drinking Water

(Editor’s note —This is the fourth of a serie* on the latest cancer research.) BY PAUL F. ELLIS (Copyright, 1948 by United Press) New York, Feb. S—(UP) —Taking a dose of radioactive iodine to treat a thyroid cancer is as simple as drinking a glass of water. In fact, that is what the patient does—drinks a glass of water. This water, however, contains a substance that is throwing off penetrating radiation. Use of this substance, radioactive iodine, is breaking out of the experimental state at New York’s Memorial hospital for cancer and allied diseases which is I cooperating with Massachusetts General hospital. Radioactive iodine is now being recognized as a routine treatment for certain types of thyroid cancer, particularly those types of cancer where the original cancerous condition has spread to other parts of the body, and will collect iodine. Such distant cancers are called metastases. In some severe cases radioactive iodine comes into use. A patient suffering from thyroid cancer—one who is likely to benefit by the new treatment —is carefully prepared before he receives his first glass of water containing radioactive iodine. Extensive X-ray pictures are taken to determine where the thyroid cancer may have spread. He is placed on a diet of low iodine content. This prepares the way for small tracer doses of radioactive iodine. They are given to determine whether the distant thyroid cancerous growths will pick up the radioactive iodine. Some types of thyroid cancerous tissue will collect the iodine; others will not. No matter where in the body , thyroid cancer has spread, if it still picks up radioactive iodine, it can be detected by the Geiger Mrs. Dean Byerly, of 128 South Third street, will leave tonight for Baton Rouge, La., where she will visit her daughter. She also plans to attend the Mardi Gras in New Orleans on February 10. o (Visiting Hours 2 to 4; and 7 to 8 p.m.) Dismissed: Mrs. Raymond Teeple and daughter, Tocsin; Mrs. D. M.

counter, a delicate instrument that detects and records radio activity. When it has been determined that a patient’s thyroid cancer will collect iodine, the Memorial scientists move quickly to administer the radioactive substance. The radioactive iodine is in a distilled water solution, usually about three ounces. Technicians use long tongs to lift it out of a lead container. They must guard against exposure to the radioactive material because, tragically, sometimes, many of the agents which are used in treating cancer are also, under certain circumstances, able to cause cancer. Expert hands carry the radioactive iodine in its lead container to the bedside of the patient. It is again removed by the use of long tongs. The patient takes the glass out of the tongs and drinks the solution down. The glass is then rinsed two or three times and the patient drinks the rinsings. The iodine works fast, sometimes reaching the thyroid tissues in 20 minutes or less. The patient realizes what he is drinking but rarely does he show any reaction, except that he knows medical science is trying to cure him. The solution with its radioactive iodine tastes like distilled water. The radioactive substance travels through the blood stream, but not all of it goes to the thyroid tissues. Much of it is excreted in the urine. In the early days, when radioactive iodine was scarce, the separated excretion in the urine was readministered. Eventually, most all of the radioactive material is excreted from the body. In many instances it is still “hot,” that is, still radioactive, a substance that cannot be poured down a drain. The procedure is to put it back /into lead containers and leave it there until its intensity decays. MASONIC Fellowcraft degree Friday, Feb. 6 at 7 p. m. Lunch will be served. Walter Lister, W.

Cite Black Market In Farm Machinery Manufacturers To Present Testimony Chicago, Feb. S—(UP) — Farm machinery manufacturers said today* that despite their efforts to wipe it out, there is a flourishing black market in tractors, combines and other urgently needed farm equipment. Manufacturers said black market sales usually are made by farmers and individuals over whom they have no control. Many farmers, they said, have sold slightly used tractors to other farmers at prices SI,OOO or more above the manufacturer’s list price. The farm equipment makers said they would tell their story of the black market to the house agriculture committee in Washington next week. Rep. Clifford Hope, R., Kans., committee chairman, announced yesterday that the committee would begin public hearings on the farm black market Feb. 10. Many manufacturers said they already had received invitations from Hope to appear for testimony at the hearings. They said they would tell the committee that the only ultimate solution of the black market problem is increased production to satisfy the huge demand. When that would be, they said, was anybody’s guess. Most of the big companies, including International Harvested, Allis Chalmers, Caterpillar Tractor and J. I. Case, are expanding their production facilities. International Harvester opened its Louisville, Ky., tractor plant last fall, and expects it to reach a maximum production of- 50,000 units per year next fall. Caterpillar spokesmen said the company is building two big new plants at Peoria, 111., in a $30,000,-

000 expansion program which is expected to “greatly increase” production next year. Manufacturers sam the shortage of farm machinery is caused by many factors. During the war they were occupied almost entirely with war production. In 1946 several of the major companies, including Allis Chalmers and J. I. Case, were beset by strikes. Steel shortages have been a contributing factor, spokesmen said. Nevertheless, most of the farm implement plants are running at capacity. Still, they have not eased the tight supply problem. A spokesman for International Harvester said that the company’s dealers in all sections of the country had reported individuals engaging in black market operations. An official of Deere & Co. at Moline, 111., said the black market moves from south to north with the harvest seasons. When southern, farmers have their crops in, he said, they often are tempted to sell their equipment to northern farmers in desperate need of machinery to harvest their crops. 0 Associate reverently, and ae much as you can, with your loftiest thoughte. — Thoreau. o- — .
