ЗАБОРАВЕНИ МАКЕДОНСКИ УМОВИ

Онкологот Коцарев работел со Марија Кири


Осумдесет години без поширока афирмација останало делото на македонскиот онколог д-р Анастас Коцарев (1889-1931), близок соработник на нобеловката Марија Кири и најверојатно, покрај Мајка Тереза, единствениот Македонец што со своето дело бил многу блиску до добивање на Нобеловата награда. Ретко кој денес во Македонија знае за неговите научни достигнувања од првите децении на 19 век, кога работел на проблемот на дијагностицирање и лекување на ракот со примена на радиум. Бил еден од пионерите на радиотерапијата, но и на радиографијата. Прв во светот направил рендгенографија на фотографска плоча од тело на пациент заболен од канцер. Напишал значајни научни трудови, кои и денес се цитираат во медицината, но, за жал, ниту еден примерок нема во македонските библиотеки.

Првпат по многу децении направен е обид да се оживее споменот за научникот. По иницијатива на професорот Божин Доневски, координатор на проектот „Истражувачка видливост“, финансиран од Европската комисија, изработен е документарен филм за онкологот со наслов „Заборавени македонски умови“. Во него, меѓу другото, искористени се материјали и спомени од семејството Коцареви.

- Иако се работи за македонска гордост, единствениот Македонец соработник на Марија Кири долго време беше заборавен. Дома имаме фотографии и документи од неговата работа. По 80 години од неговата смрт решив да напишам материјал за неговиот живот, а се изработи и документарец. Идејата беше големите луѓе да не ги забораваме, да им го дадеме местото што го заслужуваат. Досега во Македонија во негова чест има само улица во Скопје - вели внуката Соња Коцарева-Трпезановска, специјалист физијатар во битолската клиничка болница.

Доктор Коцарев бил роден во Охрид во далечната 1889 година. Татко му бил познат банкар, мајка му починала од рак на матката, а млади му умреле и двете сестри. Поради тоа одлучил да учи медицина и да ги лечи луѓето. Студирал на Медицинскиот универзитет во Женева, а за да ги плати трошоците, семејството го продало чифликот. По дипломирањето работел на Клиниката на Медицинскиот универзитет во Женева.

- Идејата да се изработи филмот дојде поради фактот што оваа година се прославува стогодишнина од доделувањето на Нобеловата награда на Марија Кири за откривањето на елементите полониум и радиум. Доктор Коцарев бил познат радиолог и во неговите истражувања за лечење на ракот вшприцувал радиум во заболеното ткиво на пациентите. Тој работел и во лабораторијата на Марија Кири во Сорбона, Париз - вели професорот Доневски.

За научниот придонес во лекувањето на ракот добил и награда од Медицинската академија во Париз. Се смета дека со резултатите од истражувањата бил многу блиску до добивањето Нобелова награда. Напишал голем број научни трудови и одбранил две докторски дисертации. И во американското списание „Тајм“ се барало поддршка истражувањата да ги продолжи во САД. Желбата, откако доволно ќе напредне, да се врати во Охрид и да лекува не му се исполнила.

Мистериозна смрт на д-р Анастас Коцарев во Женева

Освен големите успеси на полето на медицината, д-р Коцарев бил и борец за македонската кауза. Бил првиот претседател на Женевското друштво на интелектуалци и се противеле на поделбите на Македонија. Починал ненадејно на 42 години, а неговата смрт до денес е мистерија и за семејството.

- Умрел во екот на професионална и стручна зрелост. Точно не се знае од што. Во некои списи најдов дека имал лесен облик на дијабет. Можеби била во прашање некоја болест од радиоактивност зашто во тоа време не се штителе доволно, а постојат и шпекулации дека бил отруен од службите на соседните балкански земји заради залагањата за македонската кауза. Која е вистината, треба да се истражува - вели внуката Коцарева-Трпезановска.
Денес не се знае ни каде точно му е почивалиштето. Се смета дека имал свршеница од Швајцарија и наводно е закопан во нејзината гробница.

Biography

Anastas Kocarev is a top Macedonian radiologist and oncologist, professor of experimental medicine, close collaborative of Marie Curie. He was born in Ohrid 1899, comes from the old Ohrid family. His father was Petrus Kocarev who was famous banker in Ohrid at that time, his mother was Frosa Malenkova and beside Anastas they had two daughters who died as young. Later, his mother got severe disease by saying of my closest family she had cancer of the uterus and that was the reason she died. He finished the elementary school in Ohrid and secondary school in Thessaloniki. The reason to study medicine was a family tragedy. As he was from a wealthy family Kocarevi which that time had three land properties in the area of Struga (Kadica Mislesevo and Draslajca the last was old for his education) he studied and graduated medicine in Genève. He was completely dedicated to the science. He was specially interested into the experimental medicine for which he stayed in Genève where he worked as an assistant at that time famous Swiss clinic. The first article that could be found dated from 1914 (Quelques blessures des nerfs observees pendant les querres balkaniques). In 1916 together with his cooperative Alfred Fromentin, they published their first book “Theorie biosociale du sommeil” 1922 he made the first ray graph of a patient who suffered from cancer and had metastasis on iliac bone on which it was applied radium and it was presented the malignant tissues (Photographies des organs par L’emantion du radium ou radium graphie(curiegraphie) Journal de Radiologie et d’Electrologie 6:131-133) he suggested this image to be named radiumgraphie or curiegraphie (after M. Curies) but from the other scientist this nomenclature was not accepted. In that time his research were performed on experimental animals, they were advanced which can be seen in his article from 21 January 1924 published in the famous newspaper TIME in USA titled Cancer Finder. The newspaper in details describes his work in that time.

In 1916 he was called to continues with his research at the Academy of Medicine in Sorbonne because his name in the scientific elite was on high position. In Paris he continued with the scientific research of the hopelessly ill patients of cancer. As all the research were with the radioactive element radium here originated his cooperation with the famous Marie Curie who at that time was a professor and director at the laboratory for radium at the university in Sorbonne in Paris, where he worked as well. In his monograph he expressed gratitude to his teacher and close cooperative Marie Curie.

He studied the treatment of cancer with use of radium which he injected directly to the tissues not as therapy method but for diagnostic purposes. There were many publications in the period from 1921-1931 for his scientific research work dr Erwin Smith in the article from 12 June 1925 in the research magazine SCIENCE (American Association for the Advancement of Science Washington) he wrote for the work of Dr Kocarev. For his research achievement support was requested for his work and at the same time he appealed to be invited to reside at the United States of America.

In the Monograph Les cancers et la Physico-chimie published in 1927 he showed the physical-chemical characteristics of the cancer gene agents, the influence of the nervous system of the cancer ,the experimental cancerization of the characteristics of the membrane of the cancerous cells and there is chapter dedicated to the immunology of the cancer as well as the radiotherapy. Special interest appeared for the selective burden of the radioisotope in different organs. It appeared as one of the pioneers in the radiotherapy and radio diagnostics.

As a result of his research work, the large number of articles and two doctor dissertations (Quelques blessures des nerfs observees pendan les querres balkniques –Genève 1914 and Tritment des cancers dits inoperables incurables et abandonnes par la radon –colloidotherapie interne associee a des ondes elektromagnetiques." Ondes hertziennes ultra-courtes Paris 1931) he was a professor of experimental medicine at many universities in Genève and Paris.

Dr Anastas Kocarev his residence in Genève and later in Paris used for the promotion of the Macedonian question in Europe. Together with other students who resided in Switzerland founded the Genève Association of Macedonian students in 1915 who made efforts to promote the Macedonian cause Macedonia to the Macedonians before the international factors. It was promoted that at that time the intelligence from Macedonia who was educated in Europe was minor, but Dr A Kocarev with his authority in the research circles united the Genève students where he was a president. There were also famous his notes from may 1919 with prof Herron from the United States of America which gave him full support in his efforts to popularize the Macedonian question send that Macedonia as the others (he mentions Poland, Armenia, Czech Republic Slovak Republic) has right to independence.

His name was widely known in the world medicine and even today his articles are quoted. As much as he researched in the area of the treatment of the cancer his basic thought was to return in Ohrid and to open the institute for research and treatment of the cancer. For his research working he got an award by Paris Medical Academy

Anastas Kocarev died in 1931 in Paris. He never got married and he dedicated his whole life to science and the fight with the world to hear for the Macedonian question. He suffered from light form of diabetes, but he died suddenly and that is why it was concluded that he was poisoned by the secret services on the Balkans in that time because he stated in pubic that Macedonia was damaged greatly by the Versailles agreement

This is only part of the biography for my grandfather dr Anastas Kocarev which talks area his greatness in science at that time but it is a pity that in present independent Macedonia and we as part of it, do not know anything for this great man doctor science after saying of my closes he was buried in Genève by his fiancé. But, because of the misfortunes that my family had and the hard time that followed he stayed forgotten somewhere in far land. My daughter who studies French language and literature recently studied the life of her grand grand father as his works can be found only in French in the libraries in Genève and Paris I hope that one day she will bring flowers to his grave from his closest who never forgot him and always retold us for his greatness In our family we have many doctors so as the memory for him never to be erased

It has been known for some time that radium emanations have a specific effect on cancerous or other growing tissues. Using this fact as a basis, Drs. A. Kotzareff and L. Weyl of Paris have apparently worked out a method for determining the presence of new growths within the body. According to the report just published in the Presse Médical, they have discovered that a serum made from the patient's own blood and charged with radium emanations, when injected into the body, localizes in the embryonic or cancerous cells and can be detected by the effects produced on photographic plates. For instance, when a pregnant guinea pig was injected with such a serum, the radium emanations gradually disappeared from the rest of the tissues and localized in the embryo. The method has not yet been fully verified for use on human cancer. As soon as a sufficient experience has been obtained, its actual value in the early diagnosis of cancer may be stated. Certainly at this stage of the experiments the results are more than promising.
