Cancer Research Progress Is Brought Up To Date

(Editor's note: The following is the second of five exclusive, copyrighted dispatches by Paul F. Ellis, United Press science writer, which summarize the latest developments in cancer research.) BY PAUL F. ELLIS (Copyright 1949 By United Press) New York, May 17—(UP)— The hormones—chemical substance that control the mechanism of the human body and determine sex characteristics—have been found to have a significant role in cancer. The different substance produced in tiny amounts by the sex and other glands follow a regular pattern in excreiioti from normal persons each day, but studies at the Sloan-Kettering institute for cancer research have shown there is a decided shift or change in the pattern when disease is in the body. There is such a pattern-shift that indicates cancer. Most significant in the shift is the presence of a “stranger”—a hormohe that is rarely found in persons not suffering disease, particularly those not suffering cancer. The Sloan-Kettering scientists have made their preliminary conclusions after almost ten years of laboratory and clinical tests. Examinations of urinary excretions of scores of persons—sonje old, some young—have been made. Techniques of analyzing and obtaining the "fingerprints" of the various hormone excretions have been developed. The newest trick of ob- ! taining the "finger prints” of the individual hormone substances is the exposure of them to infrared

need and each was presented with a corsage. Dinner was served at long tables, lighted with tall tapers and decorated with floral arrangements. Following a short business meeting, conducted by the president, Bessie Teeple, an entertaining program was given. A tribute to mothers was given by Helen Howell and the first mother's day was discussed by Cleora Daniels. A lovely bouquet was presented to Mrs. Ed Whitright, oldest mother present. Bingo was later played and prizes awarded the various winners. Guests attending were Mrs. Roy Johnson, Mrs. C. W. Strickler, Mrs. Eugene Knodel, Mrs. Don Fruechte, Mrs. Melvin Kraft, Mrs. Dave ' vVulliman, Mrs. Noah Egley, Mrs. I Harvey Shell, Mrs. Whitright, Miss j Donnabelle Aimsworth and Miss | Jackie Teeple.

light. The procedure brings out their individual structures and makes them easy to identify. Through use of the new techniques, the scientists obtained the “finger-print” of the particular strange hormone, that shows up in most cancer eases—either before detection of the disease or during the ecnrse of h-’ disease. The “cancer” hormone derivative probably comes from the adrenals, two small glands located on top of the kidneys—and glands whose proper function is necessary for normal life in the human being. In (he examination o f excretions from ten men’ suffering cancer oi t'.e prostate, the hormone was fjard in r re cases: ! r; four cut o‘ I'.'tir '.ses of cancer of the larynx: in two ui.t of two cas’s f caiwr of breasj male; in four out of four cases, in cancer of the stomach; in one out of one in cancer of the cervix; and four out of four cases of lympatic leukemia. The compound has been found in other diseases, so it is not now considered specific for cancer. But in 15 normal males, it was found in only one. In nine normal females, it was found in or-ly one. S fn-Kettering scientists are n„w f.howing un these two cases to d’-'°rmine wneihei they uilimately develop cancer In one cisr, the t r.ge horm >le was f d in a ’-.iman appa- r.: ■; In good loalth. H.ee years lattr she developed cancer, was operated on and is in good health today—six years after the operation. (Next: Hormonal Symphony).
