CANCER INVESTIGATION
NEW ZEALAND’S PROGRESS
Wellington, Aug. 28 S'*- James Elliott, presiding at the annual meeting of the Cancer. Campaign Society, said no country paid more attention to cancer investigation than New Zealand, and the latest forms of treatment were available here. It was encouraging that the public were contributing liberally to funds. Clinics in the four centres were seeing and supervising hundreds of cases a year and a vast amount of work was done by medical staffs. The percentage of five-year cures was still increasing. An outstanding feature was that in prostrate gland cases, with the new treatment a high proportion of patients was apparently well. Sir James was re-elected president and Sir Hugh Ackland and Sir Louis Barnett were re-elected vice-presi-dents.—P.A.
