Such work is slow and expensive: nitrogen 15 costs $1,000 for a single study. But already Dr. Brown's group have had one outstanding, success in their study of a cell's reproductive system.

The organic chemists synthesized some of this compound and turned it over to the chemotherapists. They thought that it might have the sought-for "differential effect" on lawless cancer cells...

Since the thyroid gland eagerly absorbs iodine (which it uses to make a hormone), doctors have hoped that a cancerous thyroid would absorb radioactive iodine 131 in sufficient quantity to kill the unruly cells. Unfortunately, this effort was none too successful. The normal thyroid took up nearly all the iodine. The cancerous thyroid cells, particularly the metastases in distant parts of the body, took up so little...
