X-Ray Improvement
Sought by Science
The use of x-rays for diagnosis and
treatment of cancer has come a long
way since the first phenomenal bone
shadows were observed by Roentgen
a half-century ago.

CANCER
AMERICAN <

SOCIETY
X-rays, radi
um and surgj/y
are the recog
nized fcclvJcjues
for treating and
curing cancer
today, but they
are effective on
ly when tumors
are localized.
Once the tumors
have spread to
other parts of the body, cure is dif
ficult if not impossible.
While x-rays are extremely destruc
tive to cancerous cells, they also in
jure normal tissues. An important
problem of radiotherapists is to dis
cover ways of concentrating lethal
beams upon cancer with a minimum
of damage to normal tissue through
which they must pass.
Scientists working under American
Cancer Society grants are attempting
to solve this problem in many ways:
They are experimenting with super
voltage machines—up to more than
five million; and in one institution they
plan on using a synchrotron capable
of producing 70 million volts;
They are rotating the patient, pin
pointing the beam on the tumor all
the time, to lessen the effect on nor
mal tissue;
They are experimenting with chemi
cals which, when injected, may pro
tect sensitive organs against radioac
tive damage.
Funds raised by the 1950 Cancer
Crusade of the American Cancer Soci
ety will support research in this field.
