"If what I've been saying is correct--and I'm pretty sure now that I'm correct--if you can alter even a little the very, very advanced cancer patients, then all logic suggests that you should be able to alter the very early stages of the illness. And of course, the earliest stage of the illness is before the person has cancer at all. I'm pretty convinced that if people maintained a reasonable--I don't mean astronomic--intake [of vitamin C], that we would see a diminished incidence of cancer."

- Dr. Ewan Cameron, Prevention, July 1979

Ewan Cameron (1922-1991), was a physician and researcher who, for many years, collaborated closely with Linus Pauling in studying the potential benefits of treating cancer with megadoses of vitamin C. His papers contain many of the personal and official letters, research notes, manuscripts, and scientific offprints that he and his estate accumulated over the years 1959-1994, with the bulk dating to his time of affiliation with the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, 1971-1991.

The collection also includes dozens of boxes of material from cancer studies that Cameron conducted, including study proposals, grant applications, funding information, notes, related documents, drafts, manuscripts, and published papers.
