Feb. 28 New Hospital branch is like vision of the future latest ideas in cancer research are incorporated: Exceeding the wildest dreams of Florence Nightingale, the new Suttom Surray, branch of the famous Royal Marsden Hospital is a model of comfort and functional modernity. Hers, every now development, from radiation equipment for cancer treatment to new materials in furniture has been incorporated. The stark white walls of old have given way to pleasing pastel murals, and carpets add to the generally hotel-like atmosphere. Communications and liason are emphasized: pneumatic message-carriers, individual phones for patients to call the nurse, and a staff-calling system. The Royal Marsden became the first hospital in this country to use artificial radio-isotopes in teh treatment of a patient. That was in 1948, but since then as stronger links have been forged between medicine and science, a new branch to promote cancer research was needed. After many delays, to promote cancer research was needed. After many delays, the present Sutton sits was acquired in 1950. By 1960, plans had been drawn up, and the necessary funds made available. Gradually the building, a combination of bricks and concrete, rose from the chalk sub-soil. Now, three years later, the nurses are admiring the well-lit, glass-panelled wards, the two huge six-million electron volt linear accelerators for the cancer treatment which are buried deep in the radiation-proof ground. And in the laboratories, sceintists continue the endless quest to make the word cancer less terrifying to man
