New findings from early cancer research experiments
Explore how scientists in 1920 studied cancer by injecting a radium ‘active deposit’ into animals and watching the effects. This edition bundles experimental methods with early observations on how tissue, organs, and metabolism respond to radiation exposure, and what that might imply for cancer therapy.
The volume details procedures, apparatus, and dosages used in intravenous and subcutaneous injections, plus how researchers measure radioactivity and track outcomes in the body. It also presents histological results from organs such as the liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen, and notes changes in bone marrow, adrenals, and brain circulation. Alongside this, you’ll find investigations into tumor growth, immunity, and how other factors influence cancer development in mice and rats.What you will experience:
- An explanation of the experimental setup for handling radium emanation and creating an active deposit for injections
- Descriptions of how the injected substance behaved in animals and how the dose related to outcomes
- Early observations on which organs showed the most change after treatment
- Additional studies on tumor growth, immunity, and how diet and hormones may relate to cancer in animal models

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
