Description/Abstract:
THIS LETTER IS AN ANSWER TO A FEBRUARY 13, 1979 LETTER. ROSEN EXPLAIN THAT THE PION TREATMENT "IS IN AN EXPERIMENTAL STATE WITH PATIENT SELECTION DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH VERY STRICT GUIDELINES LAID DOWN BY THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE." THE CRITERIA FOR PATIENT SELECTION, PLUS THE FACT THAT THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESENTLY NOT OPERATING BECAUSE A MECHANICAL BREAKDOWN, PREVENT ROSEN FROM OFFERING ANY ENCOURAGEMENT.
