Biographical Note

Doctor and physicist Max L.M. Boone, MD, PhD (May 23, 1931 - November 17, 1996). One of the founders of the University of Arizona Cancer Center. In 1972, Boone persuaded local hospitals and the Legislature to support a $2.3 million cancer center for Southern Arizona. Previously Boone was head of the radiation and oncology department at the University of Wisconsin. In the early 1970s, Boone and Eugene Gerner, UA professor of radiation/oncology, pioneered hyperthermia - the use of heat to kill cancer cells. For this work he received the gold medal of the International Clinical Hyperthermia Society in the early 1990s.

I do feel clinically we have arrived at very near our original objective; although in terms of basic clinical research and full teaching programs, we have still some distance to go…. I was also pleased to hear that Theresa has decided to attempt medical school. I know that she has the ability, and can only hope that the financial problems will not prevent you both from finishing up as M.D.'s as Carol and I once tried to do. As I believe I have told both you and Theresa, I have often thought we concentrated our limited financial resources on the wrong person in the pair to finish me up in medicine…radiobiologist from Southwest Research (Dr. Meltz)….After talking with both you and Bob, I decided the situation at San Antonio might be pretty intolerable as far as the Radiology Department in general was concerned, and specifically with regard to Radiation Oncology…Dr. LeMaistre…" [attached to 1/18/1974 handwritten note to Boone from Ron [Russell]: "…I am at work in the library (circulation clerk)…Bob Waggener…I am relieved and happy to hear that your recovery was so rapid and complete…Theresa [Lugwig]…San Antonio Community Hospital…. Well, Max, as far as I am concerned, I will be forever in your debt. Medical school has opened a whole new world to me which would have been unattainable without your assistance at a time when you were critically ill and had so many pressures upon you…University of Wisconsin…. As regards radiotherapy and medical physics here, the situation is not quite what one might prefer…A strong radiologist is sorely needed…There is not even one full-time therapist here and yet half the number of patients treated at Galveston is the current census here. The main treatment unit is an old cobalt machine from Scott & White Hospital…plenty of potential but little kinetic energy at the present time in our radiology department…interests in radiobiology and physiology…microcirculation studies…radium dosimetry…. Supposedly there is to be clinical trials of bone mineral measurements as soon as the adjacent VA hospital gets its "Norland-Cameron" Scanner. Also, a new radiation therapy center is opening across the street at Methodist. They will have an 18 Mev Lenac [Linac?] (after you solve the problems c [with] yours – hi to Bill C.)…there is one radiobiologist here in town by the name of Meltz. He is supposed to be good and is located at Southwest Research (where we did our trial run with the Argon ion in 1969 c [with] Dr. Wallace Anderson.)…Hi to Bill Connor and Bob Miller.
