WAR AGAINST CANCER.
RESEARCH WQRK ABROAD. NEED FOR EARLY TREATMENT. A missionary in the cause of cancer research and elimination within Australia,, Dr. H. M. Moran, returned to Sydney recently, after spending 10 months of intensive study in the cancer research centre in Paris. "We have got to get at cancer early,'* Dr Moran told an interviewer. '"The public must be educated to that knowledge. Australian doctors ate too often given cases when it is too late to treat them successfully." Dr. Moran added that recent theories advanced as to the causes of cancer were discounted on the Continent. Nothing was yet known as to the causation of the disease. Surgery was still the best method of attacking cancer in its early stages. Radium was sometimes effective. Where operation was impossible, radium and the X-ray were conjointly to be applied. Dr. Moran's stay in Paris convinced him that a cordial understanding between France and the British Empire was the world's best safeguard against Bolshevism.
