J. F. PERCY. BEST METHODS OF DISCOURAGING THE ACTIVITY OF INOPERABLE CANCER: A STUDY OF HEAT IN CANCER. J Am Med Assoc, May 1914; LXII: 1631 - 1634.
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. Louis, 6:1-136 (July) 1923. ... Uterine Carcinoma and Its Treatment by Continuous Low Heat: Preliminary Report. J. F. Percy, Los Angeles. -- p. 78. [J Am Med Assoc, Sep 1923; 81: 1047: Percy makes a preliminary report on the value of the prolonged use of a low degree of heat in the treatment of suitable cases of cancer. Some of these are in the vagina, cervix, uterocervical junction and body of the uterus. In the majority of instances in which this apparatus is used the heat is easily regulated and controlled so as to be destructive only in a minimum degree to normal tissues, while acting in the greatest measure as a destroyer of the cells of cancer in any portion of the birth tract. An additional benefit is the one of practical freedom from danger and as well simplicity and comparative cheapness of the required apparatus.]
