Jacob Schwartzman, a Jewish doctor from Odessa, has discovered a cure for cancer of the breast which has proven successful, according to Tass, the Soviet news agency. Experiments on animals and humans have given positive results in the most difficult cases where other known methods have been tried without success.
Schwartzman’s discovery, in which the Health Commissariat is now greatly interested, will be called “Miol.”
