CAUSE OF THE DISEASE THOUGHT TO BE CHEMICAL CHANGE Hi BODY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, September 28. Chosen from cancer research workers from 45 countries to receive the first international prize of £350 and radium worth £3OO, Professors E. L. Kennaway and J. W. Cook, of the Royal Cancer Hospital, London, stated that they thought cancer was caused by a chemical change in the body, and not by a living organism, “We have converted some normal constituents of the body into cancer producing productions, and we have reached a working hypothesis that the disease may be caused by a biochemical process taking tho wrong turning and creating a product which acts on the cells and forms cancer. If we could find why, we would then probably prevent it.” Both hastened to warn that no cure had been found.
