“NEW CANCER CURES”
SHOULD NOT BE RUSHED “The fiasco of the Braund treatment for cancer should be a reminder to the public of the danger of rushing new things,” says the annual report of the Taranaki centre of the New Zealand branch of the British Empire Cancer Campaign Society. The report adds that until the real cause is determined by the patient labours of the cancer researcher, physicist and biochemist, the public should keep to the advice and treatment of well-established medical practice. ’“We have thought.” says the report, “that a case which has been five years free of any recurrence is a cancer cure. In the main it is so, but our confidence is shocked wften cancer recurred after 22 years. The report continues: “In four current new cases, we have had experience of a cancer cure in a particular site being followed by a second cancer in a different site.” The report records a decrease of 167 in the total of cases in 1947, as compared with 1946. The age at which death occurs most frequently is over 60.
