Medical Schools
Asked 10 Form
Cancer Service
6. w., Howard, 6. U.
Would Man Clinic at
GoI|inger Under Plan

A widespread reorganization of
cancer services at Gallinger Hospital
which would offer patients the
pooled resources of Washington's
three medical schools has been pro-
posed to the schools by DR.. Jay
Mclean. director of the Health De-
partments cancer control division.
The plan would expand Gallinger's
services to cancer patients to the
extent that Washington probably
would have the finest cancer con-
troll and treatment system in the
United States, Dr. Mclean declared.
The director said he has con-
ferred with the heads of George
town George Washington and
Howard University Medical Schools
on the proposal and added that they
have taken it under study.
Proposals Listed.
DR.. McLean's proposals are:
l. To add a diagnostic clinic to
the present cancer detection clinic
at Gallinger, headed by board of
tumor specialists nominated by the
heads Of the three medical schools
and the Health Department.
2. To organize a treatment Serv-
ice with specialists in brain. breast
and chest surgery, radiology, gyne-
cology and X-ray with the person.
mel to be nominated by the three
schools and the department.
A cancer patient wishing to enter
Gallinger under the proposed reor-
sanization plan would go through
the followinf procedure:
First. after entering the hospital,
the patient would be assigned to re-
ceive the service of one of the three
medical schools. If cancer Is sus-
pected, the patient would be pro-
cessed through the diagnostic clinic
where diagnosis would be made and
treatment recommended.
Would Aid Teaching and Research.
The patient then would be sent
back to the medical school services
originally assigned for treatment by
the proper group of specialists.
Medical students. nurses and phy-
sicians throughout the city would
benefit by the proposed cancer setup
because all phases of diagnosis and
treatment and the city's largest
pool of cancer patients would be
open fort teaching and research.
Gallinger now discharges about 300
cancer patients year-more than
any other hospital in the District.
The plan has been recommended
by the ArnericanGollege of Surgeons
for national application. DR.. Mclean
said. and the proposals already are
in effect In New Yorks Memorial
