At the West London Hospital there has been a demonstration of the new X-ray apparatus for the treatment of cancer, which the experts regard as a big advance on anything now in Britain. There are only of these machines at present-one in the hospital, another in Glasgow, and the third in the possession of the hospital's radiologist.

It is claimed, for example, thet ont of 24 cases of uterine cancer 1912... treated in 1918, 20 were clinically 1919 3,986 cured.
