Certain drugs will prolong the lives of cancer victims . . . and other promising compounds are being tested.

Hormones — treatment with hormones, such as ACTH and Cortisone, has brought about dramatic, although temporary, effects in some types of cancer. Other hormones have helped control advanced cancer of certain organs.

X-rays—the development of more powerful machines promises to make this form of treatment more effective. me

Isotopes—radioactive chemicals are becoming increasingly useful in treating certain rare forms of the disease.

Surgery — technics have been improved sq much that once hazardous operations con now be performed safely. And prog-

ress is being made in the development of ~~

advances possible. But much more re-
