The article focuses on developments in cancer research, as discussed at the Fourth National Cancer Conference held in Minneapolis, Minnesota in September 1960. A blue-ribbon panel of cancer experts at the conference agreed that early diagnosis helps in saving half of all cancer patients. According to Milton T. Edgerton, associate professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, statistical evidence indicates that solar radiation is the main cause of skin cancer.
