This book is concerned not only with the histological and histogenetical aspects of tumours but also with the development of the tissues and organs from which they arise; it describes the morphology of tumours and seeks also to present certain features of their behaviour and clinical effects which, it is hoped, will be of interest to surgeon and physician as well as of assistance to the hospital pathologist. Toward this end biochemical, haematological and endocrinological features are discussed when they are considered useful in the investigation, diagnosis and prognosis of malignant disease. The writer has sought to provide also some information touching upon the incidence of neoplasms, their distribution and their relationship to age and sex.
