Riassunto

Excerpt from A Treatise, Practical and Theoretic, on Cancers and the Cancer-Process

The 'present work embodies endeavour to present a concise view of the manifold varieties of Cancerous Disease to elucidate their individual causes; to explain the phenomena which attend their development; to show how each may best be combated. It consists of three portions. The first discusses, on general grounds, the nature of cancer, classifying all the morbid growths which display any claim to the attribute malignant, and seeking to account for the most striking features in their clinical career. At the same time it brings prominently into view the essential uniformity and identity of the pathological law, to all appearance underlying these disease-manifestations; so dissimilar in detail, so closely analogous in kind. It traces every particular species to the acquisition, by a limited group of cell-elements, of autositic properties; bracketing together the resulting tumour-products, and at the same time indicating their relationship to Benign forms of tissue-hyperplasia, by the epithet cancer process.
