Dentists Panel Urges
Nose and Throat Study
In Cancer Search
Describing the human throat as
"no man’s land,” a group of doctors
last night urged more thorough ex
aminations of the mouth, nose and
throat by physicians and dentists
for early discovery of cancerous
growths.
In a panel discussion sponsored
by the Washington section of the
International Association for DentaJ
Research, Dr. Lester R. Cahn, pro
fessor of oral pathology at Mount
Sinai Hospital, New York, said very
few professional men bother to
check the mouth in routine ex
aminations.
‘“Dentists concentrate on the
teeth,” he declared. ‘‘Ear, nose and
throat men examine the throat.
The tongue is a neglected organ, and
the oral camity seems to be a no
man’s land.”
Dr. Frank K. Mostofi, research
pathologist at the National Cancer
Institute, said the neglect of proper
oral examinations by both doctors
and dentists is ‘‘disgraceful.”
Dr. Cahn stressed, however, that
while doctors and dentists should be
on the-alert for possible malignant
growths, actual treatment must be
left to cancer specialists.
In a discussion of whether bad
fittlng dentures can cause malignant
lesions. Dr. Cahn said it is doubtful
that they are responsible to the ex
tent ‘‘that the leity believes or that j
the profession would have the laity
believe.” But such constant irrita
tion is dangerous, he said, because
science knows so little of the causes
of cancer that “we can’t afford to
take chances.”
Survey on Smoking.
Lt. Col. Joseph L. Bernier, chief
of dental and oral pathology at the
Army Institute of Pathology, re
ported that a survey of 1.000 persons
made by the institute showed no
indication that smoking was re
sponsible for malienant growths on
lips or In the mouth.
Dr. Calvin T. Klopp. director ofj
the Warwick Memorial Clinic at j
George Washington University, also ,
participated in the panel. The1
moderator was Henry A. Swanson,
chairman of the American Dental
Association's committee on national
museum and dental registry.
In an afternoon session of the sec
tion, held in the Commerce Depart
ment auditorium, Comdr. S. R.
Howell, of the Naval Research In
stitute, described experiments in
anesthesia by freezing tooth nerves
so that dental work can be per
formed without pain.
Commission Studies Charge
Against Real Estate Brokers
The District Real Estate Com
mission today had under advise-:
ment charges that Joseph R. and
Francis E. Murray, real estate brok
ers of the 1200 block of L street
N.W., failed during a “reasonable”
period to remit about $1,100 in rents
they had collected for a client.
The client, Lawrence Watson, told
,he commission the brothers delayed
payment on three months’ rent due
on his property in the 2100 block
of Newport place N.W. for two weeks
after he demanded it, Mr. Watson
testified, however, he finally was
paid in full.
Attorney Irving Ynckelson, repre
senting the brokers, said Mr. Watson
had asked a full statement for the
rent due, and contended two weeks'
was not an unreasonable time for
preparing such a statement. Seven
witnesses testified as to the brothers'
business integrity. _
