...recent history of medicine has been more frustrating to doctors and patients alike than the continuing controversy over the so-called anticancer drug, Krebiozen. Described by its promoter, Yugoslav-born Dr. Stevan Durovic, as a substance he had extracted from the blood of horses infected with "lumpy jaw," it was proclaimed by Chicago's famed Dr. Andrew Conway Ivy as a promising palliative in the treatment of some forms of can cer. But Krebiozen won the majority of its friends from among desperate patients and the handful of physicians who were treating them...

Yet last week top researchers from eleven countries journeyed to Kampala, the capital of Uganda, to pool their knowledge of both diseases. Some temperate-zone doctors suspect that both cancers may be caused by viruses, and they hoped, by studying the tropical lymphoma...
...Really Fantastic." Reinforcing that theory, Surgeon Burkitt reported that even in cases where drugs had apparently failed, some patients later conquered their cancers in a way that suggests the workings of a powerful immune mechanism. One boy, aged seven, had a large jaw tumor and failed to benefit substantially from surgery plus a dozen courses of drug treatment. When the doctors sent him home to his village they had little hope for him. Yet nine weeks later he reappeared with his jaw healed and new bone forming. Three years later he is still healthy...
