Also consider excluding from the circle, such bastions of medical orthodoxy as the Memorial Sloan-Ketteiing Cancer Center (MSKCC), the M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, and maybe even the Mayo Clinic. Let them go their own way, as they have done and continue to do, with surgery, radiation, conventional chemotha--apy, and such other avenues of their choosing. The last thing needed is negativism and obstructionism toward anything outside the domain of established medical orthodoxy.

This author is highly rewarded just by being able to see this achievement, inasmuch as it was in his laboratory at the M.D. Anderson Hospital in Houston, TX (vide infra), where both naturally immune, or viral oncolysate vaccine-induced small compact lymphocytes (later immune T cells), or large granular lymphocytes... 

Oncolytic viruses in IFN-deficient tumor cells. In the Type I IFN-deficient tumor cells innate immunity fights oncolytic vimses, but vaccination with viral oncoly-sates induced strong anti-tumor cell immune reactions. Hilary Koprowski presented a lecture at the young M.D. Anderson Hospital in 1957 on viral oncolysate therapy... 

The original myb gene was acquired by the avian myeloblastosis retrovirus from its host (c-onc v-onc). This author (JGS) had the good opportunity to observe the abundance of avian myeloblastosis viral progenies in infected tissues in 1959 in the laboratory of Leon Dmochowski atM.D. Anderson Hospital, Houston, TX, and the extraordinary virulence of this virus in 1962 in the laboratory of Joseph W. Beard, Dorothy Beard and Ursula Heine at Dukes University (Durham, NC) [1032-1034a, b]. 

The high incidence of fatal neutropenic septic shock after combination chemotherapy given in the 1950s-60s has substantially receded. Newly established cancer institutes in Florida (North Ridge Hospital, Ft. Lauderdale St. Joseph s Hospital, Tampa) invited this author (JGS) for discussions on the incidence and treatment of chemotherapy-associated septic infections (Howe CD Sinkovics JG. Life-threatening infections. Project M26/gm9. Research Report, University of Texas M.D. Anderson Hospital 1970 1972. Sinkovics JG Smith JP. Bacteroides and Salmonella septicemia. Cancer 1969 24 631-6 1970 25 663-71).
