THE British Empire Cancer Campaign (11 Gros-venor Crescent, S.W.I) has now supported cancer research for a quarter of a century. The twenty-sixth annual report, edited by Sir Heneage Ogilvie, is weighty volume of 320 pages where the reader will find that the Campaign finances, wholly orin part, nine centres of research in London and twenty-eight in the provinces, and co-ordinates, or is affiliated to, other centres in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa ; that the Campaign's income was more than £300,000 in 1948, and that it is administered by more than a score of committees and sub·committees. The Campaign supports three types of investigation and development, namely, radiological, clinical, and a composite group, mainly biochemical.
