...Scott of Temple University in Philadelphia has produced regressions during the past four years in half of 75 patients with mycosis fungoides, a cancer that starts on the skin. The therapy proved effective when the disease was limited to the skin and when treatment was begun prior to lymph-node involvement...
BURKITT'S LYMPHOMA is a tumor originating in the lymph glands that may affect the jaw, eyes and other parts of the body; it is especially prevalent in African children. Awards were given to Dr. Denis Burkitt of Britain's Medical Research Council, who first identified the tumor, and Dr. Joseph Burchenal of Manhattan's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, who recognized its potential as a target for chemotherapy. Another recipient was Dr. John Ziegler of NCI who has achieved disease-free survival for up to ten years in 67% of more than 150 patients treated...
...troop leaders, the former director of the Cuban special warfare center whose code name was Joaquín. But three months later, Che noted that Joaquin was "decaying physically and morally," and with his physician's eye, he diagnosed lymphangitis (inflammation of the lymph vessels). Of Tuma, a Caban who was Guevara's executive officer, Che noted that after six months in Bolivia, he suffered "an almost general decline, but he has overcome it."

...year-old Mrs. Myrtle Joseph of Youngstown, Ohio, was examined by Dr. O. Whitmore Burtner, now of Miami. A bone-marrow test indicated that she suffered from chronic lymphatic leukemia, which was spreading slowly. By 1964, Mrs. Joseph needed regular blood transfusions. Her liver, spleen and lymph nodes became swollen. Then, in May 1967, she wrote a letter to Kathryn Kuhlman asking for her prayers. Within a few days she felt so well that she stopped seeing Dr. Burtner. Alarmed, he asked her to come in for tests. Her marrow, liver, spleen, lymph nodes and white blood cells were normal...
...into lighter elements. The alpha particles are so weak that they remain confined inside the victim's body. While contagion is virtually impossible, this is only slight comfort to the victims. As americium spreads through the body, it may linger in such areas as the liver, spleen and lymph system and eventually settle into the marrow of the bones. According to Pittsburgh Radiologist Niel Wald, a leading radiation specialist, the effect over a year-long period is roughly equivalent to the radiation produced by ten X rays. No one is quite sure about the ultimate damage to the chromosomes...
