Abstract
MAY I be allowed to refer to the interesting and stimulating discoveries of Messrs. Farmer, Moore and Walker, and Drs. Bashford and Murray? The former have demonstrated that nuclear changes occur in cancerous tissues, by which cells of malignant growths may be justly considered homologous to active sexual elements (“gametoid”). Giant cells are suggested to be “fusion-figures” which recall normal fertilisation (sic) in cancer.
