The Medical Division s Cancer Research Hospital has been set up for the PWFOse of studying the treatment of certain types of malipant disease with radioactive materials ~ Many medical centers throughout die United States have been using radioisotopes for treatment in a small number of patients for several years. Only a few types of disease have been found to be benefited by such treatment up to the present. The opening of the new hospital in Oak Ridge does not immediately make possible the use of any new form of treatment This hospital seeves as an additional center for giving the kinds of sadioactive elements which are already in use, and as a place for the study of potential new kinds of treatment, The location of the Medical Division in Oak Ridge is advantageous for the utilization of short-lived radioactive elements which cannot be shipped long distances because they lose their activity during the time required for transit However, there is at present Iittle evidence that the short lived isotopes will be of special value in treatment The possibilities in this direction are now being explored with animal research Because the Medical Division hospital in Oak Ridge has only 30 beds, it obviously can care fos only a limited number of patients It is a research hospital and will not have all of the usual facilities for diagnosis, surgery. and X>iay therapy such as can be found in the many fine medical centers throughout the country With these unusual limitations and opportunities, the Medical Division Hospital will study only a few specific diseases at any one time- Patients will be accepted only after they have been studied and referred here by the southern medical schools which cooperate in this program, Sincese ly yours.i dy6., L Marshall Bsuces Mu D Chairman Medical Division ECO#i&m VIRGINIA Medical College of Vteginia University of Virginia t I l ib5iu AEC, Oak Ridge, Tenn OO-A7669
