radiation-therapy equipment will
go into operation in Anchorage
about January 1. The equipment
will be made available by the
Swedish hospital Tumor Institute

The equipment will take mod
ern treatment for some types of
cancer to Alaska, a land of big
space where some government
doctors still make their rounds
by short-wave radio, with the
local schoolteacher or priest re
laying the patient’s symptoms.
Dr. Orliss Wilermuth, Tumor
Institute director, said the equip
ment— 400,000 and 140,000 -volt
machines — will be placed in a
clinic being built by Dr. Duane
Drake, the new State’s only radio
ologist.

ownership of the equipment,
which has been in use since 1939.

t aining in radiation therapy at
Swedish, has been a radiologist

t’’e Public Health Service to treat
Alaskan natives. It is estimated

to Seatttle and maintaining them
there is five tiems the cost of
treatment.
