ChIdren's S Hospital Is Making
Strides in Fight on Cancer

While science carries on the
fight to unravel the mystery of
cancer, Children's Hospital is
marking up an impressive score
in holding back its lethal toll.
The last four years have writ
ten new hope for child sufferers
of the two forms of the disease
most frequently recorded at Chill
dren'S.
Doctors there give much of
the credit to public support of
the American Cancer Society,
whose District Division in 1948
made the first of four grants
establishing the Tumor Board
and Cancer Clinic.
Treatment Improves.
Here are the statistics on

ClarenceRice. pathology special
ist at Children's:
OF 20 children who had their
kidneys removed, according to
hospital records up until 1948,
all but one have died.
Since organization of the Tu-
NOR Clinic in 1948, 16 children
have had the operation. Three
have shown recurranceS, but the
others apparently are without
disease, although some are not
yet far enough past their surg
cry for a definite determination
Wins Tumor. a malignant
growth of the kidney which is
embryonic in origin, is the most
common abdominal tumor in
children of 3 years and under.
1t ranks in frequency among
cancer cases at Children'S second
only to leukemia. the blood dis
ease.
Even though there is no cure
for leukemia. medical advances
have produced the means for
markedly prolonging life and for
relieving the patients suffering.
Aids Other Doctors.
The records show that between
1888 and 1947, the average length
of survival Of leukemic patients
at Children's was 16 weeks. Since
194s. that average has grown to
81 weeks.
The impact of the .rumor
Board and Cancer Clinic is that
they bring to bear on a case the
co-ordinated knowledge and ex-
perience of medical science.
The Tumor Board, composed
OF about 10 doctors specializing
In pediatrics, surgery. radiology,
pathology and other fields, serves
a dual purpose.
Besides finding the best Solu-
tion to the cases it considers, it
Is an educational medium for
other doctors. Students assigned
to the hospital and resident ply
sicians attend it's sessions for
information.
Education is Best Weapon.
And this is in line with what
the cancer society considers it's
powerful immediate weapon
education. That means not only
the education of the public to
be on the lookout for the warn
ing signs of cancer and to seek
treatment early enough, but of
doctors to be ever suspicious of it.
AS DR.. Rice put it:
Thanks to the District Divi-

sion of the American Cancer So
ciety, there is a Cancer Clinic
and a Tumor Board at Children's
Hospital, which along with the
education of the parents to bring
their children in to these special
facilities and the growing under
standing of the doctors in recog-
nizing the early signs of cancer,
provide the real tools for our
ultimate goal of cancer control"
Its support of the work at
Children's Hospital is just one
example of the work for which

ington'S stake in the fight is a
big one. Every day, the statis-
tics show, four District residents
lose their lives to cancer.
