Abstract
THE British Empire Cancer Campaign has awarded the Garton Medal and Prize of £500 to Prof. E. L. Kennaway in recognition of his outstanding contributions to cancer research. Eighteen years after his discovery of the first carcinogenic hydrocarbon (1 : 2 : 5 : 6-dibenzanthracene), investigators are still synthesizing and testing new carcinogenic compounds although these now number more than three hundred ; and in fact studies of carcinogens and their mode of action form the largest single group of investigations in progress in the twenty-one centres of research financed, assisted and co-ordinated by the Campaign.
