Radio Waves
By A Correspondent
Newcastle-on-Tyne, May 15.
RADIO WAVES ARE BEING USED HERE TO TREAT CANCER, AND IT IS CLAIMED THAT SUCCESSFUL RESULTS HAVE BEEN OBTAINED.
Experiments made with mice and other small animals in the research laboratory of the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle. have been rewarded by special grants from the National Council
of the British Empire Cancer Campaign,
"Our system is broadly an adap-| tation of diathermy healing by heat treatment." I was told at the hos- pital to-day. "Dinthermy, of course. is not new, but we have found that radio-induced heat seems to have fur more possibilities than the ordin varieties. The curative itry
pro- perties of ultra short radio waves nave not yet been fully probed, and our experiments have given us great hopes.
IL
To-day in the research laboratory I handled a mouse which in three; weeks has been completely cured of cancer and do now as healthy and active as any other normal mouse,
to
The cure was effected by an apparatus originally installed test claims of cures made cls- where, but the introduction of a special type of valve and other modication increased ita доре tremendously and enabled experi- ments un a totally new line to be carried out.
Treatment by the new system con- slats of placing an electrode on enchi side of the cancerous growth and passing ultra-short radlo waves between them, saturating the tissues with a bombardment of radio activity.
The action of the apparatus in effecting the cure Is not yet fully understood, but the complete cure of the infected mouse was only one of many similar successful experiments,
Mice born with cancer, as well as those in which the disease has been artificially induced, have been treated with equal success.
