CANCER RESEARCH IN N.Z.
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, July 22. The University of Otago’s research on cancer of the thyroid was attracting particular attention in America, said Dr. W. Briesbach, of Dunedin, who returned by air to-day after a five weeks’ visit to America. He said he returned with the impression that New Zealand was very well advanced in this particular branch of research. Similar research was being done at Berkley and Stanford Universities in California.
During his visit he had been particularly impressed by the use of radioactive iodine in the treatment of toxic goitre, said Dr; Briesbach. This treatment, which required only one injection, was largely replacing that of operation.
