THE MECHANISM OF THE ACTION OFRADIUM ON CANCER The fact that radium may destroy a mal-ignant tumor without injuring the adjacentnormal tissues is a true indication thatradium does not act as a caustic but has aspecific selective action on the is the actual mechanism of this action?The microscopic analysis of cancer tissuesubmitted to radiation most generally showsmarked degenerative changes in the tumor observers maintain it is the only direct effectof radiation, while the destruction of
