A cancer specialist says vac

And it's possible that vacci-

DR.. Heller, president Of the
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Can

that eight different types Of
animal cancers definitely have
been established as caused by
viruses. On some of these. he
said. cancer vaccines proved 95
per cent preventively effective.
"Our Job is first to try to pre-
vent cancer" he declared. "If
we can't prevent 1t then we can
try to cure 1t. II not that, we
can arrest 1t or palliate It,"
