Abstract
THE radiological policy of the Medical Research Council immediately after the Great War was determined by its acceptance from the Ministry of Munitions in 1919 of about two and a half grams of radium element for the purposes of experimental and clinical research. Since then the Council has systematically helped the advance of radiology, especially in its relation to cancer, and from 1922 onwards, with only one omission, it has published yearly reports from research centres in the “Medical Uses of Radium”” series. The current issue for 1937* has just been published and maintains in every way the traditions of these publications. A larger section each year is devoted to pure experimental research. One of the chief values of this publication is that it gives a summary of the results of radium treatment of cancer in various parts of the body. The results are given as survival rates, and in many cases the data extend back over a period of ten years or more.
