Tree Tumor Epidemic Studied For Possible Clues To Cancer
Mount Desert Island, Maine, reports an epidemic of spruce tree tumors along a 6 mile coastal strip. Dr. Philip R. White of the Institute of Cancer Research seeks the cause, testing plant hormones and considering heredity, ocean proximity, infection, and other factors as possibilities. The work, supported by the American Cancer Society, aims to shed light on cancer mechanisms in plants, animals, and humans.
