Eye Cancer I echnique

a death sentence. Some years
ago. however, it was discovered
that when the cancerous eye
was removed and the remain
ing eye treated with X-Rays
the child's life could be saved
in half Of the cases-but he
would be totally blind. Were
X-Rays not used on the good
eye when the cancerous eye
was removed, cancer would pop
up in the good eye and kill the
child.
Then in 1858 some New York
researchers noted that a small
dose of X-Rays in the good
eye and a large dose of TEN
(Tri Ethylene Melamine)
would arrest the tumor growth
for one to four years.
Recently DR.. Krementz and
his associates asked themselves
what would happen If large
doses Of TEN could be concen-
trated around the eye tumors,
They chose a S1a-year-old
Evening star., 1961-03-20

boy with q large tumor in the
Ileft eye and a small tumor in
the right eye.
The left eye with its large
tumor was removed. The tube
was inserted into the right
carotid artery and TEN poured
in.
The tumor in the remaining
eye gradually disappeared. To-
day, 21a years later, there still
is no tumor, and the child's
sight is good.
The procedure since has been
tried on six other young pa
tients. Four have good vision
in their remaining eye, with
their cancers either gone or in
a state Of complete arrest. In
one child the tumor returned
and the remaining eye had to
be removed. The sixth child is
now undergoing X-ray therapy.
It will take some time to
completely evaluate the effec-
tiveneSs Of this procedure, but
the researchers are considering
the next logical step:
Can the practice of removing
one eye be abandoned when
there is cancer in only one
eye? Will the drug and X-ray
alone work. so the child with
retinoblaStoma may have two
good eyes?

placed in the artery Of the
kidney and q special mixture
that has been preceded to /
degree above zero Centigrade
is pumped through it. Within
so seconds this cold mixture
has permeated the kidney and
washed out all the blood.
AS long as the kidney is kept
at not-quite- e-freezing tempera-
ture, it can be worked on for
hours.
Then it is replaced in its
original site. The artery, vein
and urine tube are reconnected
and in a few hours the animal
is up and around and func-
tioning normally.
To prove this, the researchers
have quickly removed the
other kidney, and the animal
still lives. Some have now lived
for up to Is months and are
healthy.
Organs have been removed
from animals and replaced be-
fore, but they later failed II
any appreciable time interval
occurred between removal and
replacement. The process is
called homografting.

ST. PETERSBURG, Mar. 20
"A new method of saving both
the life and sight Of children
with q form of hereditary eye
cancer has been revealed here.
It involves placing q minute
tube into the carotid artery
(Which runs up the neck to the
brain and eyes) and pouring
the anti-cancer drug TEN
through it periodically for three
days to a week.
DR.. Edward T. Krementz, of

The study was reported by
DR. Claude r. Hitchcock of the
Minneapolis General Hospital
Research Foundation to the
annual seminar for science
writer's being held here by the
American Cancer Society.
At the same time DR.. Hitch
cock said he and his coworkers
hope now to find a way to
transplant successfully organs

laboratory treatment of them

only with identical twins.
Dog and baboon kidneys have
been retained in the Mime
apolis laboratories for as long
as "a hours. Dog lungs also
also have been successfully
stored and put back. The re-
searchers are leaving soon for
Kenya, Africa, to perform the
same lung experiments on
balloons.
The most important aspect
of the work, DR.. Hitchcock
said, is that I'VE are demon
strating the possibility Of MAIN
tanning organs in a simple
fashion, outside the body, in
a condition which will permit
various physical and chemical
forces to be brought to bear
on the tissue cells removed from
their normal surroundings"
He outlined the relatively
simple procedure:

mans, treating them with drugs
and returning them. He said
he wouldn't hesitate to do that
now If science had a drug that
could be infused and work.
2. The possibility Of remov-
ing a kidney or some other
organ and treating it so that
it could be successfully trans
planted to another person. It
is conceivable, he added, that
through X-radiation and some
chemical substances from the
hoSt-to-be the organ could be
modified to be acceptable to
the next person.

The job has not been with

Even so, he said, his firm

gime tried to hold a news con-
ference here, and wound UP
with less than resounding sue

Mr.. Jones said press confer

late and then issued a kit OF
press releases "big enough to
choke a horse" The Cubans
wondered afterward why they
didn't get much publicity in the

whether he will continue to be

that his representation has
become very tawdry with
commercialization.
The Santa Claus myth is
fun for children if one is
careful to explain that it is a
pretend" business and not a
literal fact. I told my children
the story of st. Nicholas. who
really lived, and is a part of
the origin of today's Santa
Claus, along with all the 9TH
er many legends connected
with Christmas.
This is folklore, which all
children understand and en-
Joy. My children waited for
Santa with as much excite
ment as If they had believed
in him literally, and we had
fun with threats that he
would pass them by if they
were not good. But I am alb
solutely sure that all the
horrible representations of
him in the stores are confus-
ing, frightening and unfair,
because they take the edge
off the mystery.
My chief complaint against
the stores, however, is not
in connection with Santa.
but with the inexcusable Gus
tom Of playing the Christmas
carols, which are parts of
our rich religious heritage
and have a right not to be
profaned for commercial pur-
poses.
The carols are played un-
til both they and the Gus
toners are worn out, and
when we go to our churches
at the actual Christmas sea-
son, which is supposed to be-
gin, not end, with Christmas.
and end with the Epiphany
on January 6, we can no
longer appreciate them.
I have no objections II the
stores want to play secular
Christmas songs, but can't
they be persuaded to keep
away from the religious ones?
