Striking Experiments In Cancer By Scientist -

(jjCDITDR'S NOTE: This is the first dispatch of what w'ill he pi series resulting from an jipspectipn of cancer research laboratories by the United jHrejss science editor under the auspices of the American can-cer!-society.) IT k -.\ ' By DELOS SMITH DEXt'ET. Cold., UP — A scientist? seeking to‘s expose basic secrets of lit j unveiled some striking experimentations today. A l)r.; Robert llusehy. associate profefisor of ’surgery; University of Colorado school of medicine, had grafted into physically nortpal male inice,. female sex organs. In male mice he had produced, with hormones, female-like breasts • — and without halting their masculine reproductive function.” Hormones are what make worn-/ en 'women—and men. men. But they have many functions — and maljfulictions—in health and ill-nes.-i. It is the riddlei of their part . in ' the formation and growth of certain kinds of cancers—capcer of tiha| breast in women; of the prostate gland in men, which Dr. Hus?hy is attempting to answer. H|s laboratory was the first visited by ; a party of professional science writers in a tour of western’ and southern research laboratories organized by the American cancer sdcietji Before the tour is over. April 27, what is going oh in the laboratories of medical.schools in Utah.-j California. and Louisiana with the public’s contributed funds will be known in detail. . Di. Huseby’s sutgical' - grafting experiments iwere performed on two kinds of inale mice—one set which Jiad been deprived of male sex glands and- another set which hadn't, Female sex organs “took” and grdw in the former when they were injected with two natural female sex hormones—estrone and estraldidl —but did not when the female sex,, hormone was the syn- i thetic one, stilbesterol.

male “sex hormones; The female sex organs ftook” under female sex hormohe stimulation, but, grew at a greatly reduced rate. Yet the synthetic female hornifflie.j stilbesterol, developed breasts on male mice without interfering i*ith thdir. production of male sex hormones. Paradoxically, the synthetic hprmone given female mice caused a complete halt in the production of ovarian hormones, Dr. Huseby said this suggested the/ synthetic supplied the routine hormone need's of the mice bodies and their hormone-produc-ing sex glands jsst quit. Now,, for what all this means in cancer research- 95 to 97 percent of the male mice deprived qf masculine sex glands and injected with synthetic female sex hormones, developed breast cancer early—and most of those who lived a year or njore alsO developed careers of the pituitary, hor-' mohe producing gland at the base .of the brain. Yet qnjy 30 to 35 percent of the non-castrated mice got breast cancer and four of 67 got pituitary cancer. [■ |' Precisely what all of this means as regards human cancer, no one can say, now. Nevertheless, it is a fact that some cancers of the breast grow slower when deprived of naturhlly derived female sexhormones and treated with a greater - than - natural? supply of* male hormones. And the reverse is true of prostate gland cancer in males—that is. a. shutting off of male sex hormbnes and an augmented supply of female hormones. ' ’ I All men and all women produce both kinds of hormones, and it is the balance between the two kinds which make them |so characteristically and healthily male or female. \Dr. Huseby is trying to find out What part imbalance has in the formation and growth of certain kinds of cancers. He emphasized that he doubted “a mere restoration to normal 'balance” would “correct or control” cancers once they had developed.

He said a law was passed at this year’s sessions of the statte legislature that forbids hospitals discriminating \against persons from out bf the county by charging them a higher daily rate. Ear) Caston was delegated the jbb of investigating the action of the legislature. Said the board president on finance: The hospii al operates on a ,$300,551 budget, tvhich derives this year frqm three cents on each hundred dollars of assjessed valuation. Last yed’r the hospital received from patients and services $213,741.99, and disbursed $1,85,033.0,3-r-a surplus of $28,708, paid batik into the general fund.

In answer to a question about who permitted to operate at the hospital surgery, he'said any man with, an MD degree is? properly permitted to operate. Buit he pointed out thatj doctors on the boards of many hos-t pitals run a, “racket” where only member medical men can operate in a given hospital* He said' this condition was being fought by the AMA. Df Burk and Peterson concurred in their opinions of the efficiency, spade and facility of the county institution. Dr. Burk said the hospital "has nothing’,” and pointed to the example that, persons must be jdsrt. elsewhere because* there bed? available for use with the elec’ro-cardiograph. He also admitted that the original design of the hospital was faulty and considered advice should be sought if the: addition is approved. Petefson announced that the el): evatojr of the hopsital was condemned recently by a state inspection group. In light of what he said previous to that, stating that: the local hospital had a “first class” rating, he was asked how tj>e could be on top with a condemned elevator. Peterson explained how two teams inspected the elevator; one said it was in perfect shape while the other pri> nounced the cabe in poor condition. This problem, he assured. wilUsoon
