CANCER TREATMENT
USE OF RADIUM BRISBANE DOCTOR'S REPORT Treat Association—By Telegraph—Copyright ■ V SYDNEY, November 23. (Received November 22, at 9 a.m.) Dr Xi. M. M’Killop, of Brisbane, who recently investigated the latest developments in cancer treatment in Europe, has submitted a report to the Federal Government, recommending that until a final report on mass radium therapy is issued by the Radium Commission no more radium should be purchased by the Commonwealth Government, or State clinics. Its place, he suggests, can be taken by cheaper and -more easily operated apparatus, such as the Chaoul machine and the Phillips super-voltage machine.
The • report contains an impressive plan for a New Zealand and Australian campaign, and also recommends that the New Zealand Government be invited to co-operate with the Australian Government in holding an Aus-. iralian cancer conference at Canberra in 1937.
