Doug Mason has donated a couple of hours and = few
Milligrams of a clotting agent culled from his blood to help
® two-year-old boy with leukemia.

Mason donates blood regularly to the Red Cross. But
he feels more connected to the patients who receive the
blood he gives to the Vancouver General Hospital's cell
separator unit.

-“When you get called here, you know it's your
specific blood that’s needed for a specific patient and I
think more people get a bit of a lift out of that,” says Dr.
Larry Grossman, clinical director of the cell separator

Although clinic staff discourage donors from
knowing who is receiving their blood — unless, as in 50
per cent of cases, it is a family member — donors still feel
needed, he says.

Sinee April, when 19-year-old Ken Wood found out
he had he's had ions of pi (the
component that helps blood clot) every second or third
day. Some of the platelets have been donated by his
parents, Gloria and Bob Wood; some have come from

TO FIGHT CANCER

Doctor uses laser

VANCOUVER (CP) — A
local doctor is combining
laser technology and a drug
derived from cows’ blood in a

to treat lung cancer.

Dr, Stephen Lam, a res
pirologist at Vancouver Gen
eral Hospital, is researching
a new process, called photo-
dynamic therapy, to kill or
slow the growth of inoper-
able lung tumors.

Unlike the conventional
lung cancer treatments of
chemotherapy, radiation and
surgery, photodynamic ther-
apy — or photoradiation —
involves no risks, no harmful
radiation, no pain and only
one minor side effect: a
heightened sensitivity to sun
light, Lam said.

“It is a very promising
development that is still in its
first generation,” Lam said,
adding that doctors in King:

certain types of skin cancer
and it's being used on skin,
bladder and lung cancers in
Japan and the United States.

The treatment appears to
kill very small tumors — “the
first man who had the treat-
ment in Japan in 1980 has
been cancer-free for the last
four years” — and improves
the quality of life for those
whose cancer is too advanced
for surgery, he said.

“It can control the growth
of the cancer so the person
doesn't cough or spit up blood
as much. It can make them
much more comfortable.”

What isn’t yet known is
how effective the treatment
is in the long term. “We have
no way of knowing what cells
have metastasized (travelled
to a new site) so we do not
know if we are curing the
disease.”

ston, Ont., are testing it on Lam hopes to answer the

question with a clinical trial
he started two months ago
financed by the Health Min-
istry and the B.C. Lung
Association.

Lung cancer — usually
caused by inhaling industrial
carcinogens such as asbestos
or by smoking — is the most
deadly cancer, striking seven
or every 100,000 B.C. resi-
dents.

The drug, called hemato-
porphyrin-derivative (HpD),
is a light-sensitive compound
in the same family as chlor-
ophyll, the chemical plants
use to convert sunlight to
energy

HpD, which is purified
from cows’ blood, has two
important characteristics,
Lam said

For some reason, cancer
ous cells absorb more of the
drug and retain it longer than
normal cells. Once inside a
