Newspaper Page TextTHE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON MONDAY, APRIL 17. 1950 PAGE SIX Coast Scientist Discovers Blood Test for Cancer By Paul T. Ellis (United Priwi SWm-e Knitor) Atlantic City, N. J., April 17 HP) A west coast scientist work ing in a basement laboratory of his home may have found the key to a reliable blood test for cancer and even more, perhaps one of the causes of cancer. This scientist is Dr. H. S. Penn, of the University of Cali fornia, Los Angeles, who report ed with three of his colleagues the development of a new test for cancer at the American Asso ciation for Cancer research here The new test, based on a sim ple process, has been found to be 98.6 per cent accurate and is the result of 15 years research, in cluding long, tedious nights in the Penn basement where he was experimenting with tissue of liver of cancerous patients; and iso lating what may turn out to be a causative agent of cancer. 4,000 Cases Studied Penn and Drs. George C. Hall, A. H. Dowdy, and A. W. Bellamy told the association that more than 4,000 persons had been studied in connection with the test, and that of that number 830 persons were patients defi nitely diagnosed as suffering can cer. In their cases, the test was 98.6 per cent accurate. The most significant part of their report was the statement ' that those persons who under went surgery for removal of. a cancerous growth showed up neg ative in tests eight days after the operation. Thus, if the tests meet other clinical trials and are found to be without error, cancer doc tors may be able to determine whether all of a cancer has been removed. The new cancer test technique Is similar to that of the Kahn test for syphilis, it. is done quick ly In a test tube, and requires no microscopic examination. Liver Tissue Used In the first place, the doctors use the livers of persons who have died of cancer. The tissue is ground and prepared in a puri fied form. During the early work, the scientists found that the livers of persons who have can cer, and not particularly cancer of the liver, contain a factor that appears to be a causative agent of cancer. The medical men know that the human body creates anil bodies, or chemical fighters. against disease but there lias been no proof that cancer causes the body to create antibodies. The new test is based on the as sumption that cancer does cause the body to create antibodies, such anti-bodies show up in the white part of the blood the serum. In making the test for cancer, the west coast doctors took blood from persons In the study and mixed it with a. saline solution containing the "cancer factor" of the liver of cancerous persons. In the case of persons who had cancer in their body, it was as sumed the blood had created anti bodies against Uie disease. Resuit was that In those per sons who definitely had cancer there was reaction in the tost tube test. That is. substances, ap parently anti-bodies, were "at tacking" the cancer agent and causing the solution to lose its cloudiness. Such is a positive test. Those persons, known to be in health and apparently free of ' cancer, had no such reaction. Their serums remained cloudy. There was no activity of a "can cer anti-body" attacking the can cer agent.

To further prove their studies, the scientists had two other lab oratories make similar tests. The results were virtually the same.
