Adding information and sources
I plan on adding reliable sources to increase the validity of this article and even add some additional information that may help bridge gaps where some questions may arise. For example, if Helen Chambers underwent large amounts of research for cancer and was given large amounts of radium for testing, where did she receive her radium and grants from? I feel like that’s an important question that should be answered, and can be answered. The book, “Notable American Women” includes this vitals information. On page 243 it states, “a loan for radium and a grant for cancer research came from the Empire Cancer Campaign through the Medical Research. Council”. In 1921 when she conceived the idea of opening a hospital for cancer research in women and recruited another woman physician known as Dr. Hurdon to assist her.

Some additional information:

An incredible research article I discovered called the “Ineffable Freemasonry of Sex” includes immense amounts of specific detail on Helen Chambers and her work through the 1920’2. On page 15 of the research article it states, “By 1929, 322 cases had been treated, and of these only 68 were operable. The Cancer Committee had adopted the five-year surgical “cure” as the gold standard of successful treatment; hence, no definite claim could be made about the value of the therapy. The results were said to be “encouraging,” however. According to Helen Chambers, 90 percent of the operable cases were free from all the signs of cancer, while all the inoperable cases were “materially benefited.” I used this quote because it shows the impact and weight Dr. Chamber’s words carry.

Peer review The article is neutral. All the materials are related to the article topic. There is only one reliable reference is related to the article, and this supports the claims in the article. We can add more detail information about her career and experimental researches. Helen Chambers (1880-1935) had some important experimental research about the immunity transplanted tumors and the using of X-rays and radium to malignant tissues.ref> PHUONGNGUYEN 09 (talk) 18:30, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Actually, there are three reliable sources in the article! The DNB, The Times and the BMJ are all thoroughly reliable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:04, 22 November 2017 (UTC)
