CANCER RESEARCH
PROGRESS IN OTHER COUNTRIES
(Australian Press Association.)
SYDNEY, Feb. 7
Comments on cancer research and treatment in Europe were made by Doctor de Monchaux, radio therapeutist at the Dunedin Hospital, and lecturer in radiology at Otago University, who arrived from England today by the Moldavia after an absence of ten months, visiting leading N-ray radium and cancer institutes in Britain, America and the Continent. He also attended the International Ra»diologicol Congress at Zurich last July, .and the British Radiological Conference in London in December.
He said: ‘The general thing which emerges from these conferences is that the only wav lo treat cancer is in special self-contained, properly equipped cancer institutions , with a team ») experts wording together. Proper provision should lie made for the treatment of cancer as well as research. Where you get a diffusion of energy and lack of co-oidination, these detract very much Irom the treatment and control of cancer.”
Dr de Manchaux added that possibly the best research work was lining done in London, and the bo<t work in radium, in Sweden and France. The biggest advance had been made in the United States and Germany, where they had developed Ihe idea of higher voltage in the treatment of cancer.
