"NOTHING DRAMATIC."
TREATMENT IN NEW ZEALAND
Electric Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, May 14.
There had been nothing that could really be termed dramatic in cancer research for many years, said Dr. W. Gilmour, pathologist at the Auckland Hospital and chairman of the Cancer Consultation Committee, in commenting on the cablegram from London to-day reporting “diamatic advances.”
Many hundreds of face, lip and skin cases, he said, were treated annually at Auckland and there was a very high percentage of complete cures. The profession had come to expect cures rather ihan failures. An interesting lact was that cancer of. the face was more common in the North Island than in the South Island. This was associated with the fact of stronger sunlight in tinnorth. There vac a very real danger in constant over-exposure to the sun.
