...Sloan-Kettering Institute's Director Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads announced that he and fellow researchers had confirmed the long-suspected existence of a "cancer-immune mechanism" in normal human cells. In a series of tests at Ohio Penitentiary begun last spring (TIME, June 4), laboratory-cultivated human cancer cells were transplanted to 14 cancer-free convict volunteers. Similar transplants had previously grown well in patients already suffering from cancer. But in the healthy convicts they "evoked a most vigorous, inflammatory reaction," and "were promptly rejected and disappeared." When the mechanism that rejects the cancerous cells is finally identified...

It is expected that if there is any growth, it will be only at the injection site, and it will be cut out as soon as detected...
