Excerpt from The Journal of Cancer Research, 1920, Vol. 5

Very little is known concerning the changes that occur in living tissue following the injection Of solutions of an active deposit Of radium emanation. This investigation was under taken to determine what changes occur in the principal organs of the animal body following such a treatment, and to afford data that might act as a guide in the treatment of certain types Of cancer, in which the solution method of radium therapy appeared particularly adapted. Since the main facts Of this investigation became apparent, cases Of leukemia and lympho sarcoma have been treated by the methods employed in these experiments. In these diseases the lesions were so widely dis seminated as to suggest treatment by the method of intravenous radium injection.

The scope Of the investigation may be divided into two parts, one dealing with experiments concerning intravenous, and the other with subcutaneous injections Of the active deposit Of radium emanation.
