DR. CHARLES E. HUGGINS, 60; DID RESEARCH ON STORING BLOOD
Dr. Charles E. Huggins, 60, a pioneer researcher in human blood storage procedures at Massachusetts General Hospital, was the son of the University of Chicago`s Dr. Charles B. Huggins, a cancer researcher and winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine. A resident of Boston, Dr. Huggins died at home Wednesday of cancer of the pancreas. Dr. Huggins in 1963 developed a practical way to freeze and store red blood cells for extended periods. His landmark technique involved adding glycerol (an organic type of antifreeze) to red blood cells that have been separated from other blood components. This procedure allowed the cells to be frozen for years and then thawed, undamaged. The glycerol is then removed with a sugar compound containing fructose. His procedure, along with a Cytoglomerator he invented, makes it possible for people having elective surgery to donate blood and have it frozen for later use during the surgery. He was an associate professor of surgery at Harvard University Medical School and since 1973, director of Massachusetts General`s blood transfusion service. A native of Chicago, he graduated from the University of Chicago at age 18 and graduated cum laude from Harvard Medical School at 23. He took his surgical training at Massachusetts General. Survivors, in addition to his father, include his wife, Gareth; three daughters, Elizabeth Reiser, Margaret Franchi and Nancy; two sons, Charles Jr. and Gordon; a sister; and a grandson. Services will be held Monday in Cambridge, Mass. Record Number: 19900420OB9002010953

NOBEL PRIZE WINNER DR. CHARLES HUGGINS
Dr. Charles B. Huggins, 95, a University of Chicago cancer researcher known as "the father of chemotherapy," shared the Nobel Prize in 1966 with virologist F. Peyton Rous for his research on the relationship between hormones and cancer. He was professor emeritus of surgery at the university's medical center. A resident of Hyde Park, he died at home Sunday. His research on prostate cancer changed forever the way scientists view the behavior of affected cells, and it opened an era of hope in the treatment of advanced cases of cancer. By the time of the award, the Nobel Committee said, Dr. Huggins' work had "already given many years of an active and useful life to patients with advanced cancer over the entire civilized world--patients who would have been lost to other forms of therapy." The 1966 prize was awarded for his "fundamental discoveries concerning the hormone dependence of normal and neoplastic cells in experimental animals and their immediate practical application to the treatment of human prostatic and breast cancer." He demonstrated that cancer cells were not autonomous and self-perpetuating, as previously believed, but dependent on the signal of chemicals such as hormones to grow and survive. By depriving cancer cells of those signals, a chemotherapist often can restore the health of patients with even widespread metastases. "If you want to discover--really discover--then do research," he said in a 1978 Tribune interview. "It grows on you. The more you do, the more you understand the process of creativity." He called science "the art of our century" and remembered 20 years later the day "we knew for sure that we had learned how to treat advanced prostate cancer." "I was excited, nervous, happy," he said. "That night I walked home--1 mile--and I had to sit down two or three times, my heart was pounding so. I thought, `This will benefit man forever. . . . A thousand years from now people will be taking this treatment of mine.' " In 1941, in conjunction with students Clarence V. Hodges and William Wallace, he demonstrated a relationship between the endocrine system and the normal functioning of the prostate gland. That resulted in developing a treatment that included removal of the testicles and administration of estrogens, which brought about almost immediate regression of tumors and often spectacular pain relief. He demonstrated similar findings in many breast cancers. He reported that by removing the source of hormones (ovaries and adrenal glands), doctors could help 30 percent to 40 percent of women with advanced breast cancers realize substantial regression of tumors. A native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, he graduated at age 22 from Harvard Medical School. He joined the U. of C. faculty in 1927. Survivors include a son, Charles H.; a daughter, Emily H. Fine; seven grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren. Plans for a memorial service were pending. Record Number: 19970115OB9701150174
