Summary
| Description | This film was created as a professional educational extension of the American Radium Society on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. The film stresses the need for multiple disciplines to work together to treat childhood cancer. The three disciplines represented on this panel discussion were: surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Three childhood cancer cases were discussed: a 9-month old with a tumor on the right kidney, a 7-month old with a tumor in the left groin, and a 10-year-old boy with a tumor on the arm. Diagrams of the children's areas of disease were shown though no photographic images of them were. Physicians also discussed and showed photographs of other patients as examples of similar treatment for childhood cancer, including one of a sarcoma of the eye. Credits: John L. Pool ; Lois Murphy, Lester W. Martin, Melvin Tefft, Lemuel Bowden ; produced and directed by Richard S. Scott ; director of production, Kay Lou Brown ; audiovisual committee, Frederick W. Geo |
