Abstract
AMONG the numerous laboratories and institutions engaged in cancer research throughout the British Empire, none has a higher reputation than the Royal Cancer Hospital and its associated Chester Beatty Research Institute. We therefore welcome the republication in one attractive volume of a selection of papers which issued from these laboratories during the period 1935-39 (London : Royal Cancer Hospital (Free). 16s.). These had previously been published in many different journals in Britain and the United States, and their assembly will prove of great convenience to many workers in this field. Greatest importance will probably be attached to the series of papers by Prof. E. L. Kennaway and his colleagues on the synthesis and properties of carcinogenic compounds, which probably embodies the most notable contribution to cancer research during the last decade. Other valuable papers deal with the physical aspects of low-voltage, high-voltage and radium therapy and with topics concerning the pathology of cancers. The Institution is to be congratulated on this fine record of its work.
