St. Petersburg, Fla. — There is
encouraging word from the medi
cal surgical front Where doctors
battle to prevent people from dy
ing of cancer.
The word is that surgery com
bined with drugs seems capable
of preventing more women from
dying of breast cancer than the
presently conventional treatment of
surgery combined with X-rays.
This news from where desperate
ly ill people rather than laboratory
animals are subjects for experi
mental cancer treatments was dis
closed Sunday at a science writers*
seminar sponsored by the American
Cancer Society.
It was good enough to mean
that the up-to-now experimental
treatment for breast cancer is
about to be recommended to the
medical profession as a replace
ment for the old.
Dr. George Moore of the Roswell
Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y., reported on what amounts
to a statistical study of women so
afflicted who were treated in some
20 hospitals across the country.
This study now is 26 months
old. Women are selected at random
either for treatment with surgery
and X-rays or with surgery and a
highly potent but still experimental
drug.
Moore reported on 685 women of
whom 340 got the standard treat
ment: and 345 got the surgery and
drug, thiotepa. There have been
