According to the author, radium has a specific effect on cancer cell nuclei, causing their pycnosis, nucleus deformation, vacuole formation, nucleus wrinkling and disintegration. The surrounding connective tissue is not involved in the specific changes. L. attributes a very important importance to special spindle-shaped cells (carcinomatogenen Stiftzellen), which penetrate into cancerous masses and disconnect them.
