Cancer Research Progress Is Brouaht Up To Date

(Editor’s note—Some medical scientists believe tfi£y are getting close to solving the enigma of cancer. New ways to detect the disease and tb treat ft are being worked out at the laboratories. To bring the progress in cancer research up to (Hate for newspaper readers, Paul F. Ellis, United i’reess science writer, Has befcn given access to the staff reports and laboratories of the Memorial hospital center for cancer and allied diseases in New York. After several weeks of reporting ahd sifting highly technical material, Ellis has written five exclusive, copyrighted dispatches. Much of the material in his series never before has been published in newspapers. All of the dispatches have been checked for scientific accuracy by the staff of the hospital. The first dispatch follows:) BY PAUL F. ELLIS (Copyright 1949 by United Press) New York, May 16—(UP)— The cancer battle line has been cracked at two points hy teams of New York scientists. Either bulge in the line could develop into a full-fledged breakthrough or prepare the way for ultimate victory against cancer. One bulge is the discovery that persons with cancer excrete a chemical substance rarely found in normal persons. The discovery might well Jead to a fool-proof test for cancer or—and the scientists stress this—a means to determine a person’s susceptibility to cancer. The second bulge in the battle line is the discovery that a chemical substance—not yet found in naturer-destroys, or stops from! growing, a certain type of cancer! in animals. It has been so successful in animals that it is now being tried in human cases. The new gains on the cancer battle line ha'Ve been scored by scientists of the Sloan-Kettering institute for cancer research, which Is part of the Memorial hospital center for cancer and allied diseases. The scientists cautiously have reported their findings at staff! meetings and in the technical journals, but in this dispatch and Others to follow will be the first report in the lay press. Cancer scientists, by nature, are conservative and cautious, but the Sloan-Kettering tr.Cn can not hide rR Sinto your Home . r— —————— sill ■bfcF Smith Druq Co.

I their enthusiasm over the new deg ve’opments attained in their laborsi- tortes. i- The chemical substance found to ;• be excreted by cancer patients is ? a hormone, which is now believed P to be produced by two glands each 1 about the size of a walnut. They e aie located atop the kidneys and a arb the adrenals. The substance, s a ’’stranger’’ in the midst of other r substances normally excreted, has 1 been isolated in pure form and its s structure has been established. In V at least two cases, it showed up ■ ‘iflbre than threb years before can- ■ cor was detected. i The studies ro far show' that the i adrenals, which are part of the f human glandular system, have a 1 suggestive relationship to cancer, f but not yet completely proved. i The second chemical substance under investigation and being tried on human cases also is virtually a ’stranger” to medical science. i Known technically as diamino- : puritfe—pronounced dye-ah-meeno- ■ pure-enn—it too has been made in ' synthetic form. In tests, the substance has been found to reach the • nucleus Os tissue cells. From studies so far, this local!- ■ zation does not affect normal cells, but does prevent the multiplication : of one type of abnormal, or cancer i cell. It has been particularly es-i i fective against some forms of ■ leukemia in experimental animals : — and now is being given its chali lenging trial in human beings. I (Next: Caneer Fingerprints).
