Prevention, not cure, is still the watchword of most cancer researchers. No cure has been found, but practically all types of cancer, if detected in time, can be checked. Proud of its prevention progress was the Third International Cancer Congress, which met last week in Atlantic City, discussed a number of remarkable suggestions for nipping young cancer growths...
Palestine's troubles this summer shattered the eucalyptus-shaded calm of Tabgha Hospice. Tourists kept away, and times became lean for businesslike Father Täpper. Worse, he had a cancer, was operated on at Tiberias. Last month Father Tapper made ready to retire to the land where he was born some 60 years ago. World War I he had escaped.

Sirs: Among the letters in TIME, Aug. 21 was one from my cousin, Charles A. Storms, on the subject of cancer patients. You may be interested to learn that he died on August...
...smart, jovial Physicist Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented it about a decade ago, it was used for the purest sort of research in experimental physics. Three years ago the cyclotron switched from pure science to practical science when it was discovered that beams of neutrons produced by the cyclotron destroyed cancer cells in mice. A regular program of medical cyclotron work was set afoot, in charge of the inventor's brother, Dr. John Hundale Lawrence, who has a medical degree from Harvard. One of his latest discoveries, announced last week, is that different types of cancer cells assimilate the element...
...long time, they said, researchers have known that cancer cells consume an abnormally small amount of oxygen. To find out why, Drs. Davis and Schmitz probed an enormous rat tumor, discovered small pockets of poisonous cyanogen gas along its borders. They also confirmed the presence of cyanogen along the edges of a human tumor. Cyanogen gas, in minute amounts, is a normal cellular waste product, ordinarily passed out into the blood stream through porous cell walls...
