The side effects are basically the
same as experienced with conven
tional therapy. The skin turns red
when the treatment has reached its
limit. Other side effects include hair
falling out and the eventual leather
like condition of the skin.
Social workers follow-up on the
patients’ condition every month for
the first year after treatment. The
second year patients are checked
bi-monthly, and each year afterward
patients are advised to have an an
nual check-up.
“Fast neutron therapy’’ was first
used in the summer of 1969 by Doc
tors Dan Hightower, William Banks
(deceased December 1975), James
Smathers, Gilbert H. Fletchqr, and
Jess B. Caderao.
The A&M personnel donated
their work time until 1972 at which
time a government grant under the
National Cancer Institute funded the
program for three years.
Tbe grant recently renewed until
August of 1978.
Dr. Banks treated dogs, cats,
monkeys, and pigs both with and
without tumors. Dr. Earl Morris has
now taken over the animal program.
The animal program is under the
same grant as the human therapy.
At present, pigs are being treated
for the effects of fast neutron therapy
on the skin. Special “mini-pigs from
the University of Missouri have skin
very similar to man’s.
The project has a grant of $1.5
million for 15 months of research.
Four separate projects are funded
under this grant. All are neutron re
lated.
The grant was recently renewed
until August of 1978.
