Description/Abstract:
RESPONSE TO A MARCH 6, 1982 LETTER. ROSEN STATES THAT IT WAS AS A RESULT OF STUDYING ONCOLOGY FOR SIX MONTHS TO ASSURE HIMSELF THAT EVERYTHING POSSIBLE WAS BEING DONE FOR HIS FATHER ( A CANCER PATIENT) THAT HE BECAME AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR PION THERAPY. A NUMBER OF GLIOMAS HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH PIONS. HOWEVER, AT THE PRESENT IT APPEARS THAT THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE MAY PREFER TO DISCONTINUE THESE CLINICAL TRIALS. ROSEN AND OTHERS ARE TRYING HARD TO PERSUADE T NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE OTHERWISE.
