MR. SAMPSON HANDLEY draws his data from the experiences of a curious and progressive practical surgeon, and is concerned to define the anatomical conditions which underlie the beginnings of cancers. He finds that the feature which is common to all precancerous states is an inflammation of the smaller and mostly terminal lymphatics, leading to lymph stasis, and he upholds his thesis by the detailed histology of a considerable variety of lesions - warts and adenomata, lupus and its malignant development, chronic mastitis, skin irritation in general, especially dermatoses from tar and oil, X-rays, and radium. |
