Dr. Herman Lawrence, by the uso of radium, for the last twelve months has been treating at the Melbourne Hospital cases of rodent ulcer, which is one of the least malignant forms of cancer. The medical superintendent of the hospital (Dr. Mackay) stated in answer to questions last week that radium has apparently a more curative effect in casos of rodent ulcer than any treatment previously tried, but to make a general statement to the effect that radium is a cure for all forms of cancer would be taking at present for too optimistic a view. A number of cases are now being treated' by Dr. Lawrence, who has a supply of radium, with very c;ood results, whether these results will be permanant is a question for the future to decide. The patients attend at the hospital twice a week, and they are treated by Dr. Lawrence until apparently cured. Though the results achieved are hopeful, it cannot bo definitely stated that the rodent ulcer will not break out again on the patients.
