Abstract
THE Medical Research Council announces that its Radiotherapeutic Research Unit (formerly Radium Beam Therapy Research) has now resumed clinical work in new quarters which have been provided by the London County Council at Hammersmith Hospital. For the present, this work will be confined to the treatment, by radium beam therapy or X-rays, of cases of carcinoma affecting the buccal cavity, tongue, pharynx and larynx. The director, Dr. Constance A. P. Wood, would be glad to have suitable cases referred to her: these should be patients who have had no previous treatment, either surgical or radiological, and preferably not in a very advanced stage of the disease. The physical work under the charge of Mr. L. G. Grimmett, which has meanwhile been contimied in temporary quarters at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, has also been transferred to Hammersmith Hospital.
