| Abstract: | The prevention and cure of cancer has been one of the great goals of medical science for many years. Although only partial success can yet be claimed, intensive research on an international basis has led to a greatly improved understanding of the mechanism of its causation. This masterly review of the current state of knowledge, by one of the most eminent research workers in this field, concludes on an optimistic note: there are sound grounds for supposing that cancerous cells can potentially be restored to their normal state and there are clues to ways of finding the kinds of substance which might effect this. |
