Zelen Says Laser Beams
Can Halt Cancer Growth
SW METERMEN OFFICERS
Jack Brazier (left), general supervisor for Houston Light
and Power Company, is new president of the Southwest
Metermen’s Association. Vice President is Alfred O.
Tramp, meter supervisor for the City of Austin.
The use of laser beams in ex
ploding cancerous tumors was
discussed by a statistics expert
during a graduate lecture last
week at Texas A&M University.
“The laser,” Dr. Marvin Zelen
explained, “is a concentration of
energy for high density. It de-
destroys tumors by thermal
energy.”
Dr. Zelen of the Mathematical
Statistics and Applied Mathe
matics Section of the National
Cancer Institute has been work

plication of probability and sta
tistics to bio-medical sciences.
“Our high-speed motion pic
tures in research work show that
tumors burst open on impact of
the laser beam,” he noted. “This
means that the laser causes pres
sure within the tumor and causes
it to literally explode.”
Dr. Zelen’s lecture was titled
“The Use of Probabilistic Models
and Problems of Cancer Re
search.” His research involves
the formation of mathematical
models to predict tumor destruc
tion to size and other variables.
“Our experience in research
indicates that all of a tumor
must be destroyed in the one-hit
application of the pulsing laser,”
he said. “When a portion of the
tumor is left, it continues to
spread the malignancy.”
Dr. Zelen told of laboratory ex
periments in which mice with
various types and sizes of tumors
were treated with laser beams.
“For instance, we used a one-
hit application of the laser beam
to a mouse with a flank tumor,”
he said. “The tumor was de
stroyed in seconds and the mouse
is leading a normal life, as nor
mal as any mouse.”
Dr. Zelen described probabil
istic models as idealized assump
tions. He said the models give
some insight into qualitative fea
tures of disease and suggest
some implications toward pre
dicting the possibility of recov
ery for a cancer victim.
Giving an illustration, he said
models indicate that the laser
works best on small tumors —
less than two inches in diameter,
and that application of larger
amounts of energy for larger
tumors might be practical.”
In the application of the pulse
laser, he said the beam seems to
char the tumor with the first
pulse, making it hard to get more
energy into the tumor.
Dr. Zelen also spoke briefly
about breast cancer. He said
there are 60,000 cases of breast
cancer per year in this country,
and that breast cancer is the
leading cause of death in women
40 to 60 years old.
Dr. Zelen’s complicated re
search is to develop a workable
model for predicting possibility
of cure of breast cancer in vari
ous stages of advancement. He
said statistics show that younger
women have more malignant
breast cancers than older women.
Also, Zelen observed, tumors
grow faster in younger women.
Pointing again to statistics,
Zelen said women with large
families have lesser rate of
breast cancer than do women
without children.
Dr. Zelen was introduced by
Dr. H. O. Hartley, director of
A&M’s Institute of Statistics.
His visit was sponsored by a
National Science Foundation
grant.
The Wednesday address was
one of six lectures presented on
campus by Dr. Zelen during a
four-day period.
