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.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1893, was among the earliest attempts to propose a unified understanding of the many diseases known as 'cancer'. The author, Herbert Snow, examines the nature of cancer and argues that a single pathological mechanism is responsible for the diverse manifestations of the illness, which may occur in any part of the body. Snow posits that cancer results from a process similar to a return to a primitive state, where cells revert to a form of uncontrolled self-multiplication â" a theory that remains partially valid today, nearly a century and a half later. The book considers the causes and patterns of various cancers in different organs, and argues that cancer is becoming more prevalent â" an assertion that has since been borne out by medical data.
