PROGRESS WITH CANCER
DR. LUMSDEN’S DISCOVERY. ADVANCE ON OTHER LINES. By Telegraph—Press Assn— Copyright London, July 10. The annual report of the British Empire Cancer Campaign Society gives prominence to results from a treatment discovered by Dr. Thomas Lumsden, of London hospital. Dr. Lumsden has already shown the possibility of rendering mice immune from induced cancer, but although reticent regarding the application of serum in human cases through the volunteers being inoperable cases and not treatable by radium, he considers that the results justify an intensive investigation. Another promising line of research is associated with a substance called benzpyrene, derived from coal tar pitch. Cases treated with radium in the past year were four times those of 1930 and the cures effected six times as many.
