...Raymond K. Kjellberg, instructor in surgery at the Harvard Medical School, told an American Cancer Society symposium that the use of this machine is still in the experimental stages as far as tumor therapy is concerned...
...filibuster against pending civil rights legislation, Thurmond kept talking for 24 hours and 18 minutes, stoked himself through the night with pumpernickel, hamburger meat and malted-milk tablets brought to the Senate by his wife (who was to die three years later, at 33, after surgery for a brain tumor). His performance set a new Senate filibuster record...
Virus particles have been found in some human cancers, but this does not prove that they caused the disease. Some tumor viruses invade an animal, yet they disappear for months or years, and then belatedly cause cancer. The hows and whys of this latent period are unknown. One partial explanation may lie in the ability of new "provirus" particles to remain undetected in cells, doing no evident damage until they are stimulated by chemicals or X rays. The important thing is that these nucleic-acid molecules can be infective by themselves, with no assist from the protein that normally accompanies...
...hour with no oxygen at all and without apparent damage. This meant that they could shut off its circulation entirely and give the surgeon a virtually dry field. Last month the team tried it on a 54-year-old woman with a tumor in the right mastoid and middle ear. The tumor was so heavily supplied with blood vessels that removal was judged impossible, because of the risk of massive hemorrhage unless circulation could be stopped completely...
When Surgeon Robin P. Michelson reached the brain to remove the tumor, he hit no gusher, but found the area cool, still and, for all practical purposes, dry. Under these ideal conditions he was able to remove virtually all the tumor within ten minutes, though he probably could have taken four times as long without added risk. The research team removed their tubes and clamps, let the patient's own blood rewarm her brain...
