Excerpt from The Essential Similarity of Innocent and Malignant Tumours: A Study of Tumour Growth
IN the pages which follow, I have somewhat extended the two Lectures on the Essential Similarity of Innocent and Malignant Tumours which I delivered in March 1904 to the Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. An abstract of the Lectures was published in the British Medical Journal in June of the same year, and I have wished to publish an account of the argument in full, although unable to do so until the present time.
The illustrations of the three Selected Gradation Series are, with very few exceptions, process reproductions of photographs taken directly from specimens. The source of the specimen is in every case indicated, but I desire here to express my thanks to those who have allowed me to utilize the various specimens for my present purpose - ia, To the Museum Committee 'of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh; to the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England to Professor D. J. Cunningham, Keeper of the Anatomical Museum of the University of Edinburgh; to Professor G. S. Woodhead, Curator of the Humphry Museum, University of Cambridge; to Professor Chiene and to Mr. J. Hodsdon, of Edinburgh.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the idea that both harmless and cancerous tumors share a fundamental similarity in their cellular composition. The author makes the case for a continuum between benign and malignant tumors, with the latter arising through a gradual transformation of the former. Historically, the scientific community commonly understood these two classes of tumors as entirely distinct entities. By meticulously examining hundreds of specimens, the author challenges this conventional wisdom. Through the presentation of a series of meticulously graded tumor samples, the author demonstrates that this spectrum of malignancy is reflected in observable changes in tumor cell structure. Along with this progression in malignancy, the author presents evidence that certain types of tumors can spontaneously transform from benign to malignant forms, and that the two types can even coexist within the same patient. Ultimately, this book presents a compelling case for rethinking the nature of cancer and could have significant implications for improving cancer detection and treatment.
