[ RadSafe ] Cancer

Sun Mar 11 09:05:25 CDT 2012

Dear Roy, 

Many thanks for the interesting article on cancer. It
reminds me of talks I had many years ago with my step-father, Sir Ian
McAdam, a professor of surgery. 

short CV
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1115607/ [16] 

We talked
about cancer and he told me that he had performed a many operations on
patients with melanoma. This was in Uganda in the 1970s, with no
radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The procedure was to remove as much as
possible of the cancerous tissue. But he knew that in some cases he had
not removed it all, and the conventional wisdom is that the remaining
cancerous tissue would eventually grow back. 

However, Sir Ian said, in
a small number of these cases the patient went through full remission,
was followed up and apparently showed no further traces of the melanoma.

regards, 

John Hunt

well. We seem to know a great deal about cancer, and in certain
situations various cancers can be cured. But, of course, that knowledge
is not complete. Consider that once you know how to solve the puzzle of
a Rubik's Cube, it may be easy to do. Cancer still has a few secrets or
tricks left. There was a show by 60 Minutes (USA Television) that a
gentleman down towards UCSD/Scripps/San Diego was running a company that
has nearly completed mapping of the human genome. Work has also been
done by Federal (US and world) research organizations. The next secrets
about cancer may be in the various ON/OFF switches set up in human DNA.
People interested in understanding cancer further need to involve
themselves in understanding DNA better. Have a great week!!!! Regards,
Joseph R. (Joe) Preisig, PhD
