Scientists Devise Methods THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Wednesday, March 24, 1954 Of Early Cancer Diagnosis By FRANK CAREY AP Science Writer BOSTON (-—Boston scientists have devised methods of detecting and diagnosing in a relatively early stage three of the common- | est killers—cancers of the brain, breast and uterine cervix, the tip| of the womb. The results of this research were | i. today to a group of sci- ence writers touring leading re- search centers under the guidance} of the American Cancer Society. A Tufts Medical School scientist, Dr. William. H. Fishman, has found a simple, cheap and rapid ‘way of detecting not only well-es- tablished cancers of the uterine eervix in post-menopausal women but also cancers of microscopic ize and even precancerous con- ditions. While his method missed a little fess than 20 per cent of proven eancers, it brought to light many | @ancerous and precancerous con-| ditions which might ‘have been missed by conventional methods, be said. 41.. wiauiam H, Sweet, neuro- surgeon, and Dr. Goidon L, Brownedl, physicist, of ue Harvard University School of Medicine and Maree" fonernl eee nattal diagnose but even pinpoint brain tumors without opening the skull. They do this. by injecting the patient with radioactive arsenic, which concentrates in brain tu- mors and can be traced with twin| | scintillation counters an hour or a | day later. A scintillation counter | detects radiation. Dr. Ira T. Nathanson and asso- ciates of the same institutions have found they can predict with high accuracy whether a lump in the breast is benign or cancerous. They do this by injecting the patient with radioactive potassium. which concentrates in eancer and, as a rule, goes in very small. quan- tity to benign tumors. $ While the scientists emphasize that the method is not a sure test | for breast cancers they indicate that their figures leave no doubt | but that patients now may have a good ides before an operation as| to whether the lump is innocent or waether it is cancer. The latter verdict calls for extensive surgery, including removal of the breast. The test was made on 100 wom- en with benign and malignant breast tumors. None of the benign tumors took up suspicious quanti- ties of the radioactive potassium.

The black panther scare had hundreds of residents in the Los Angeles area in a dither week be- fore last. The beast supposedly escaped from his cage shortly after Wayne Roberts’ show start- ed for Phoenix, Ariz. “The whole story was a hoax,” Police Chief William H. Parker said yesterday. “We were pretty certain of that from the first, but it has taken a lot of checking to substantiate it.”” Scores of frightened citizens re- ported they had seen the black panther. Chief Parker says Roberts con- cocted the whole story and kept it going so he could get a job as publicity man with a carnival. ‘Cops And Robbers W asn't A Game | OKLAHOMA CITY Wu4mA 10 | year-old boy, wearing two toy guns and a sheriff's badge, was joined by police in his game of cops and |robbers yesterday.
