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.

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.
