Last week the novel method was under hopeful study in both the U.S. and faraway Africa. The drug Dr. Sullivan and his colleagues chose was Methotrexate, because it has a handy, harmless and effective antagonist in folinic acid, also known as CF, for citrovorum factor. At Memorial and other hospitals, they have tried the combination on a score of patients with cancer confined to the head, where a high concentration of the drug could be infused through a single artery in the neck. In many cases the cancers shrank rapidly, and one man is disease-free after two courses...

For women with cervical cancer, polyethylene tubes are set in arteries on both sides of the lower abdomen...

But interceptors are fast becoming obsolete and the Canadian division a token force...
