Abstract
INTEREST in the relations between the anterior pituitary and tumour growth has been considerably stimulated of late by the claim of Zondek, Zondek and Hartoch1 that the growth rate of the Ehrlich carcinoma in mice is greatly retarded by the administration of large quantities of prolan. In a subsequent paper, Gross2 described previous experiments in which he found that administration of prolan had no appreciable effect on the growth of a transplantable sarcoma beyond a doubtful acceleration.
