"To me, this is very, very exciting," said Dr. Frank Rauscher of the American Cancer Society. "In these tumors, when you can get a 50 percent or more response rate, that's better than any cytotoxic (cell-killing) drug that we've ever seen in the history of using systemic forms of therapy." However, Dr.

Robert Mayer of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston cautioned that while he would be enthusiastic about pursuing the research, "I would be very reluctant to put it up in neon lights and call it a major advance." BOSTON (AP) An experimental therapy turns ordinary white blood cells into roving cancer killers that can destroy or dramatically shrink tumors, even after they have spread throughout the body, researchers report. The scientists caution, however, that the treatment is still extremely expensive and carries potentially dangerous side effects. The therapy, being tried for the first time on humans, uses a hormone to marshal the body's immunological weapons against cancer to attack renegade growths while sparing healthy tissue. "It's the most promising biological approach to cancer at the present time," said Dr. Vincent T.

In the treatment, doctors remove cancer patients own white blood cells and grow them in test tubes with a hormone called interleukin-2, which programs the cells to seek out cancer. Then the blood cells are put back into the patients' bodies, where they are bolstered further with injections of interleukin-2. Once extremely rare, interleukin-2 can now be manufactured in unlimited quantities by genetically engineered bacteria. The researchers have tested the technique on 25 patients with advanced, of the National Cancer Institute. Other centers will soon begin testing it, but it is now available only at the cancer institute in Bethesda, where it was developed.

Researchers there say it is so complex and time-consuming that it can be given to only four patients at a time. However, experts are trying to solve these problems. And if the therapy turns out to work as well as they hope, it could provide a versatile weapon against many forms of cancer. "This is a new way to treat cancer," said Dr. Steven A.

But House sponsors of the bill are facing problems in getting the legislation before the House before next Friday's scheduled congressional adjournment. Rep. Butler Derrick, a chief sponsor of the bill in the House, said the chances are "about 50-50" that the legislation will make it before the House this year.

Derrick and other House sponsors are trying to win a suspension of the House rules to move the bill before the chamber next week, at the same time as the Senate consideration.
