ing in the VA Hospital the past
four years. The group consisted
of DR.. Mumma and DR.. Byron; DR..
Harry S. Penn, research associate
in the UCLA zoology department
and the man credited with develop
ing the substitute for the human
antigen; DIR. George c Hall. direc-
tor of the Tumor Control Center in
the Los Angeles VA Hospital; DR..
Andrew H. Dowdy, professor and
chairman of the Department of
in the UCLA School of
Medicine, and DR.. Albert w. Bel
lamy, professor of zoology at
UCLA. Known in medical circles
as the "sero-fiocculation reaction"
the blood serum method of testing
is expected to lead to earlier dis
rovery of cancerous LESSONS in the
lungs and other chest areas.
Diagnosis Difficult
In his paper evaluating the
blood serum test, DIR. Byron said
that the nature of the bronchogenic
carcinoma (cancer of the chest or
lungs) made diagnosis potentially
He pointed out that
such cancer often Stimulates other
types of pulmonary LESSONS and Of
ten leads to late diagnosis even
when the patient presents himself
to a physician early in the course
Of the disease. Taking a group of |
patients who had definite cancer
LESSONS, the group applied the blood
serum test and the results were
more than SO percent correct in
showing positive reactions. In
testing 315 cases of non-malignant |
esions, the reaction showed a false
positive incidence of 28-57 percent.
This diagnosis, however, could be
quickly corrected by further tests
such as biopsy-a pathological ex-
of tissue taken from the
cancerous area.
In 4O1 cases of head and neck
esions, DIR. Mumma reported, 331
we're verified cases of malignancy
n which the synthetic antigen has
been tested over a period of 21
months. In the 331 cases, the ma
ignancies have been verified by
oiopsies. In the remaining 70 cas-
IS, the non-malignancies also were
verified by biopsies. OF the 331
verified cancer cases, the serum
blood tests gave false-negative re-
actions in only three.
Previous work by VA doctors
md their UCLA associates in the
VA haspital had been done with
non-soapy, fatty substance OBJ
.ainable only in human cancerous
liver tissue. The new synthetic
antigen, it was said, compares fav-
,rably in results obtained by the
previous antigen. Their findings
With the antigen obtained from
,ancerous liver tissue were pre-
'ented originally at the 1850 meet
ng of the Association in Atlantic
city by DIR. Penn.
The total number of cases stu
lied since July, 1949, on both hu-
nan source antigen and synthetic
lntigen is approximately $4,000.
These included various forms of
ancer, other non-malignant condi-
ions and a large group of normal
from the VA Center at
4os Angeles and the UCLA student
'ody.
The tests revealed that the SUBJ
tance, in most cases, reacts one
way when mixed with blood serums
# persons afflicted with cancer
md another way when mixed with
he shera from non-cancerous per-
IONS.
Neither DR.. Mumma nor DIR. By
on disclosed in their papers the
process by which DR.. Penn was
tble to make the synthetic antigen.
