[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 77110413, member: 123415"] Which book are you referring to and which types of cancer were being addressed? I tend to be skeptical about claims of regarding cancer treatments pre-1960 for many of the same reasons I'm skeptical about claims like the ones made by the Weston Price foundation claiming things like "When Price observed Tribe XYZ living on this specific indigenous diet, he found they didn't suffer from heart disease or cancer like people on western diets" The biggest reason, most of the cancer detection and monitoring tools weren't even available yet at that time. CT scans didn't come about until the early 70's, and weren't widely used until 1980. MRI's didn't start becoming widely available until a few years after that. They had early versions of x-rays, but those (especially the early iterations they were using) were very limited when it came to cancer detection and monitoring. Prior to 1970, doctors were mostly flying blind with regards to cancer treatment in terms of knowing if what they were doing was working or not. [/QUOTE]
