DANGER CURES
OPERATIONS VERSUS RADIUM VIEWS OF DR A. S. MOODY When asked if during Ids visits to European clinics lie had learned that any new methods of carrying out experimental work in the cure of cancer were being undertaken, Dr A. S. Moody, who returned to Dunedin last night" after a tour abroad, summed up Ids impressions by saying: “ After I had been shown recentlycompleted statistics dealing with the treatment of cancer by surgical means and by radium I put a direct question to the director of one of the largest surgical clinics in Europe. I asked what line of treatment he would follow if he were treating one of his own relatives. His answer came rather reluctantly. ‘ I would operate,’ he said. “ Provided a case came under notice reasonably early,” added Dr Moody, “ radium properly applied has its uses. In inoperable cases and in some special cases it can compete successfully with operations.”
