helps physicians determine
exactly how to direct cancer-
fighting equipment, using
radiation on all the infected
areas, but not healthy
tissue.
The image on screen looks
like slices of bread, each rep-
resenting a different portion
of the body: skin levels, bone
structure, the malignant
tumor.
The image also can be
moved about, so doctors
know just where to project
the X-rays from different
angles.
"Before we had this, we
did the best we could," Dr.
Forman says. But previous
techniques, such as the use
of ultrasound, were not
capable of pinpointing the
exact area to be treated.
"Often, we were missing the
cancer as much as we were
getting it."

One of the latest tools to
fight cancer is the supercon-
ducting cyclotron. Developed
at Michigan State Univer-
sity, it is a massive elec-
tromagnet which, through a
complicated series of pro-
cedures comprehensible only
to a physicist, is able to
create a neutron beam used
to fight cancer.
The magnet itself weighs
25 tons and looks like a piece
of space equipment. This is
the only superconducting
cyclotron, developed specific-
ally for medical purposes, in
use in the United States.
The cyclotron is valuable
for two reasons. First, be-
cause it can be directed at an
exact target, according to
ROC senior physicist Dr.
Richard Maughan. Second,
the powerful beam may be
useful in fighting cancers
not conquered by traditional
radiation, Dr. Maughan
said. It is expected to be es-
pecially successful in
treating advanced prostate
cancer.

Another cancer-fighting•
machine: the mevatron,
which produces high-energy
X-rays used to bombard
diseased areas. It moves like
a massive blender, from side
to side, so as to be able to ac-
commodate specific areas."

re we making any
progress?" the patient
wants to know. He has
received 23 treatmeniii
already, with three more o
go.
"I can't tell," Dr. Forman.,
says. "But every time you
come in for treatment, we
kill more of the cancer."
"Can you kill it all?"
"We may not know for
months after the treatment 4
has finished."
"Can't you learn anything*
from a blood test?"
The one inevitable ques-
tion — asked by everyon%
from Lydia, the well-
established businesswoman,
to Dave, the baseball fan —
is simple: "Will I live?" 0
The answer is usually yes.
Almost three-quarters of
prostate malignancies can.
be destroyed, Dr. Forman'
says. Even patients with
lung cancer have survived
for decades.

But Dr. Forman will never
tell anyone, "You are com-
pletely cured," because "the
reality is that you can never'
be 100 percent cured," he
says. "What you can be is
clinically and chemically 4
free of the disease."
"Sometimes, such as in the
case of head and neck ma-
lignancies, you can see them
tumor disappearing," he .
says. But usually doctors
know for certain only that
they have made the tumor
smaller, not that it is com-
pletely gone.
Instead of talking "cure,"
