FIGHT AGAINST CANCER.
PROMISING TREATMENT.
REPORT OF EMPIRE CAMPAIGN. (UKITED PP.BBB ASSOCIATION— SV BLICTKIO TILEGRAPH —COPTBIGHT.) (Received July 11, 8.15 p.m.) LONDON, July 11. The tenth annual report of the British Empire Cancer Campaign gives prominence to the results of a treatment discovered by Dr. Thomas Lumsden, of a London hospital. Dr. Lumsden has already shown the possibility of making mice immune from induced cancer. He is reticent regarding the application of the serum in human cases because his volunteers have been inoperable cases and not able to be treated by radium. He considers, however, that the results justify intensive investigation. Another promising line of research is associated with the substance benzpyrene derived from coal tar. Four times as many cases were treated with radium in the last year as in 1930, and there were six times as many cures.
