It is hoped this research will not only, benefit farmers, but will help in controlling certain forms of cancer in humans as well. Dr. Steve Kleinschuster, USU, has been studying cancer eye in cows for eight years. He said the cancer found in cows is similar to that bf human head and neck cancer. It is the felt learned- - A cure V. information by testing cows has been very helpful in treating humans. About two percent of all herefords .in the United States have cancer eye, and this is responsible for 80 percent of all tumors found in slaughter houses. He said the cause of the cancer remains unknown, but there are theories that the ultra violet rays of the - . .vC : A sun could be involved. It is also theorized that a virus could be working in conjunction with the suns rays. . It is rarely seen before a cow is four years old, said Dr. Kleinschuster. Removal of the eye is the most common method of caring for cancerous eye, and this is effective only 50. percent of the time. The remainder of the cases are caught too late and has either spread to the neck of the animal or into the bone. The growth starts as a white plaque that located where the white of the eye meets the iris. The plaque is usually benign during this stage of development, and may even get larger, with an added blood supply, but still remains benign and can be successfully treated. The prevention of this . . type of cancer is to check the animals while they are in the chutes in the fall or spring. The plaque can be removed either by surgery, freezing, or burning. From the information gathered over the past decade, a vaccine has been produced that is injected into the eye to combat the cancer. This vaccine is derived from dead tuberculosis bacteria. Dr. Kleinschuster stated that it was very tricky injecting the eye with this vaccine. The University has now started testing vaccines which are shots that formers can give without inter-muscul- problems. The University is looking for cows with cancer eye so the two available vaccines can be tested. They have money from the Ivory flim (Tito nn (inn .
