All the patients in the specialized
City of Hope Medical Center are
afflicted with one or another of the
major catastrophic maladies of our
times. And all the patients receive
free the finest care known to mod-
ern medical science.
Care is given to more than
40,000 outpatient visits a year.
In the new and expanded out-
patient facility planned under the
New Horizon program, this vol-
ume is expected to be doubled.
But there ' is hope. Dr. Robert
Rosen. pediatrics chairman, is
piloting new patterns of drug
treatment. Of some 150 leukemic
children throughout the world who
have survived more than five years
since diagnosis, the City of Hope
has treated 13. Five of these have
Survived over 10 years, living at
home in complete remission of
their disease.
There are.- many City of Hope
"firsts" in the fast-growing field
of nuclear medicine.
In a long-term City of Hope
pilot study, the use of hyperbaric
oxygen to enhance cancer radia-
tien therapy is being explored. Pa-
tients are placed in a transparent
plastic chamber where they breathe
oxygen at about three times normal
atmospheric pressure. Radiation
then may be more effective in de-
stroying eaneer cells ordinarily
row in oxygen compared with nor-
mal cells.
Exciting research in respiratory
disorders like emphysema, one of
the fastest-growing threats to
health and life in the nation today,
is taking place in the City of Hope
laboratories, where studies are be-
ing made of hereditary defects
which may make as many as one
in every 20 persons susceptible to
emphysema if their lungs are ex-
posed to cigarette smoke ) fumes or
other irritants.
A test is being developed suit-
able for mass screening to identify
high-risk individuals.
Diabetes is perhaps the best-
known and most common of the
metabolic and endocrine disord-
ers. New approaches to its un-
derstanding, prevention a n d-
treatment are being studied in
the newly-established department
of metabolism and endocrinology
at the City of Hope.
Former Detroiter. Dr. Eugene
Roberts, neurosciences chairman,
has discovered the key role of a
certain chemical in transmitting
"messages" in the nervous system.
This discovery has led to exciting
new approaches to problems of
epilepsy and hyperactive children.

search, piloting work is under way

fect in children, was developed
at the medical center.
