Compiled from dispatches heroin ohm in treatment of cancer Washington the Federal government has authorized the use of heroin As a painkiller in controlled studies of cancer patients at Georgetown University s Vincent t. Lombard cancer research Centre Here and at a cancer Centre in new York. The National cancer Institute is supplying the narcotic and sponsoring the studies which will compare the pain deadening effects of heroin and morphine the Nar Cotic from which heroin was derived in 1898. Heroin which has not been available legally for any purpose in this country since 1956, is the drug most commonly associated with addiction and Street crime. Heroin is used As a painkiller in great Britain particularly for patients suffering from advanced cancer. There has been much heated debate in recent years in the Legal and medical communities in this country Over proposals to allow the use of heroin for terminally ill cancer patients. Or. Franco Muggia associate director for cancer therapy evaluation of the cancer Institute s division of cancer treatment said it might be that the studies could t have been done just six or eight years ago when the nation was in the midst of an Urban crime wave thought by some to be caused by the needs of an increasing number of heroin addicts. The heroin for the tests is being manufactured by the National cancer Institute from opium legally imported into this country for medical use. Heroin is four to five times stronger than opium but like opium is believed to have drawbacks As a painkiller. Among these Are the fact that it can cause constipation and nausea and patients can quickly require larger and larger doses to control pain. Georgetown wants to look directly at the effects on pain Relief and other Muggia said. Whether there s better tolerance than with morphine in terms of intestinal problems in terms of euphoria and in terms of depressant effect. It s being compared to morphine which is considered one of the Best analgesics pain killers in terms of severe Muggia said memorial Sloan Kettering cancer Centre in new York has already begun studying the pharmacological properties of heroin to determine among other things How it differs from morphine. Studies in Britain have shown heroin to be effective in controlling the pain of terminal cancer. According to Muggia however the British have not done comparative studies of the major narcotics. Pain is one of the most devastating effects of some forms of cancer preventing patients who might otherwise be physically Able to about their daily business from functioning on any but the most Basic level. Asked if heroin might not have the same deadening incapacitating effect on cancer patients it has on addicts Muggia said that is probably a matter of dosage and it s probably a matter of personality environment and expect deaths Aqullar Maria 66, of 662 landside Street wife of Joseph Aquiar.
