CAST DISPLAYED Two-year-old Michael shows his mother, Mrs. Carmel Gauci, the cast on his hand where specialists transplanted a section of rib bone to his 'thumb. Michael was born without a bone connecting his thumb tip to his wrist. He is recovering from surgery at Los Angeles Orthopedic hospital. In about six months, tendons will be transplanted from his foot to make the thumb functional. - (UPI Telephoto) Leukemia toll Shifts To Older Age Groups, Cancer Group Reports Leukemia, once thought of as only a childhood; cancer, has shifted its .heaviest toll to older age groups. Although leukemia each year takes the lives of more children than any other dis ease, it kills five times as many adults. If present rates continue, 13,000 persons will die of leukemia this year, and 2,000 of them will be children under 15 years of age. The American Cancer So ciety pointed qut these facts to place leukemia in itsproper focus among all types of can cer, which claim the lives of a quarter of a million Ameri cans each year, y Chance of Solution Dr. Robert Turner, medical director for the Jackson coun ty unit of the American Can cer society said that research to solve the riddle of cancer has a likely chance of solution in leukemia ahead of other types of cancer. He described leukemia as a cancer of the blood-forming tissues. "We feel leukemia may be solved first among cancer dis eases for two reasons," Dr. Turner said. "First, great headway is ' being made in finding chemicals which check the disease for a time. A dozen compounds have been used with varying degrees of success in treating patients with acute leukemia. "Secondly, there are clues which suggest that leukemia may be caused, or at least triggered, by a form of virus. If this is so, the eventual pre vention of the disease with a vaccine would become a possibility. "Research which strength ens this theory, includes the recent findings of Dr. Steven O. Schwartz, of Hektoen Insti tute in Chicago, who induced leukemia in mice with a fil tered liquid from the brains of persons who had died of leukemia." - ' . Supported by Society Dr. Schwartz, i whose work is supported by the American Cancer Society, later went a step further, and injected hu man volunteers with the same filtrate. Blood serum from the volunteers was found to pro tect mice against leukemia. This discovery suggests that a vaccine may one day be de veloped to control leukemia in human beings. None of the men in the experiment devel oped leukemia due to what Dr. Schwartz believes as a natural resistance. Other scientists - have ob served under the electron microscope what they believe are virus particles obtained from the lymph nodes of per sons suffering from leukemia. Changing Incidence - Science also is interested in the changing incidence of leu kemia which, in the last few years, has remained about stationary in children, but has mounted alarmingly- among the older age groups, accord ing to American Cancer So ciety statistics. ' In women 60 to 65 years of age, the rate more than dou bled from 1930 to 1958, jump ing Irom 5.2 per 100,000 popu lation to 13. tor men of this age, for the same period, it more than tripled, rising from 6.6 to 20.6. The incidence rate for chil dren remained practically un changed. Pointing out that the Ameri can Cancer Society has cur rently allocated more than $1,500,000 in a broad program of research related to leu kemia, Dr. Turner appealed to all residents to contribute to the Cancer Crusade to step up research in leukemia and the other forms of cancer.
