... that Marie Wreschner patented a method for treating cancer using radioactive materials in 1925?
Source: "in 1925...patented a treatment for cancer...The special feature of their invention was the adsorption of electron-emitting uranyl compounds in a suspension of ferric hydroxide. This approach of encapsulation of drugs in attachments or cages of benign molecules has become common in modern medical applications, and the patent of Wreschner and Loeb was perhaps nearly 100 years ahead of its time." (pp. 45-47)
ALT1: ... that Marie Wreschner received a patent in 1930 for a radioactive liquid that killed tumors in animals? Source: "Patent published by Marie Wreschner and Laurence Loeb in 1930 describing a new treatment for cancer...This research led on to an investigation, which she carried out in collaboration with Dr. Farmer Loeb, using suspensions of iron oxide particles with adsorbed Uranium for the treatment of cancer. By careful and untiring work Dr. Wreschner succeeded in producing suspensions of this kind which in animal experiments were markedly successful in destroying malignant tumours, though perfectly harmless in other respects. Although she tried with great energy and patience to induce medical circles to test this method on a larger scale on man this has not so far been done..." (pp. 45; 49)
ALT2: ... that Marie Wreschner was unable to find asylum in Britain before the Holocaust because she was aged 51? Source: ...asking if they [British charities] could find assistance [asylum]. She said on 28 February 1939, “The various institutions and laboratories are now getting so full that I think they prefer to give what facilities they can to younger people who have a chance of getting off their hands within a limited period.” In a letter on 9 March 1939, to the Emergency Sub-Committee for Refugees, British Federation of University Women, Tess Simpson also stated, “It seems to me that the chief difficulty in Dr. Wreschner’s case is her age.” By 1939, Wreschner was aged 51 and... her age was still counting strongly against her." (p. 50)
@Yue: Thanks for reviewing! The book is about scientists killed during the Holocaust. I provided quotes most relevant to the hooks, although surrounding passages explicitly mention Nazi racial laws, her attempts to find a position at Oxford, correspondence with British organizations, and ultimate death to avoid deportation. The page numbers I cited are a good guide, please let me know if you have trouble finding anything in particular! RabidTuberculosis (talk) 21:22, 1 October 2026 (UTC)Reply
@RabidTuberculosis: I think a strict interpretation of DYK rules would conclude that ALT2 would be fine if it said "World War II" instead of "the Holocaust", but common sense tells me that it doesn't matter because 1939 is, in fact, before the Holocaust. However, neither the source provided nor the article explicitly mentions the Holocaust (aside from the category), so technically ALT2 isn't verified in the article even if the conclusion is obvious to most readers. However, again I personally wouldn't care about that technicality. I will approve without question ALT0 and ALT1, and leave ALT2 to the judgement of the promoter.
