RADIUM CURES CANCER CASES Good Results Reported by London Physician. 811B II United Press LONDON, May 12.—Substantial progress in the endless war waged by science against cancer was described in a post-graduate lecture at the University of Leeds by Dr. G. E. Gakj, director of the surgical unit at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, who declared that radium treatment has cured a considerable number of undoubtedly malignant tumors. The tumors were observed to disappear after exposure to rays of radium, Dr. Gask stated. Reports from various research centers showed that in a majority of cases in which hemorrhage was present, it disappeared after irradiation, though in some cases It returned later. Out of sixty-nine cases In which tumor formation was noted, it was found to have disappeared completely in sixty cases after exposure to radium rays.
