BID TO SAVE TWO MEN
Unique Caneer Operation (N.Z.P A. Reuter —Copyright) BUFFALO, (New York). March 6. Doctors have tried a unique operation in a last attempt to save the lives of two men suffering from cancer. They have taken a small piece of cancer-infected tissue from each man, and exchanged them one for the other. They hope each man’s body will now build anti-boHies to combat the transplanted foreign tissue. If this happens, the doctors plan to take out the anti-bodies which would have formed in the blood, and exchange them by means of blood transfusions. Then, it is hoped, the antibodies will fight the original infection and cure the patients. Messrs Robert Allen, 28-year-oid father of three, and Harry Griffin, a former professional baseball player, had been given only a few months to live because both have osteogenic sarcoma, a bone cancer.
