CANCER.
During the year the Ministry of Health issued three circulars
known as Cancer II, Cancer III and Cancer IV, for
the guidance of Local Authorities supplementing the information
contained in the circular known as Cancer I and
issued in August, 1923.
Cancer II relates to the effects of radium and X rays upon
normal and cancerous tissues.
Cancer III relates to Cancer of the breast and the results
of surgical operation in connection therewith.
Cancer IV is a review on the main lines which experimental
Cancer research has followed in recent years and of
the broad conclusions, negative as well as positive, which
seem to be deducible up to now from the several branches of
this work.
