Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xi cancer and surgery Unt1l the recent inquiries which this book discusses, it was generally recognized that, despite all other promises, there was no means of opposing the growth of cancer but the knife. The local treatment, whether by the knife or caustics, of what is at first a local disease in every case, dates back to the earliest times. At one period during the nineteenth century the view was strongly expressed, and held, that though the manifestations of malignant disease are primarily local, the malady really has its seat in the blood, and that therefore all local treatment is essentially futile. Now it may very probably be true that certain conditions of the blood are highly relevant to the growth of cancer, but no one would as yet again oppose the surgical treatment of cancer on the grounds which were formerly maintained. For many years past, and, indeed, ever since the immortal work of Lister made possible the scientific development of surgery, such advance as has been achieved in the treatment of cancer has been entirely surgical. The solitary exception, perhaps, is that of the treatment by the Rontgen rays of the most superficial and least malignant form of cancer, which is known as rodent ulcer. The surgeons and the pathologists have joined hands to ascertain, in the case of cancer occurring in various sites, the directions in which the disease commonly spreads, and the position of the lymphatic glands in which secondary growths commonly occur. These investigations have led to the devising and making of ever more and more extensive operations. Not so very long ago, for instance, the surgeon was content merely to excise visible cancer of the tongue or lip; now, in addition to doing so, he systematically removes all...

Malignant Growth
Author: Alan I MarcusPublisher: University of Alabama Press
ISBN: 0817319794
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
In this accessible history of science and medicine, Marcus exposes the complex story of the efforts made from 1875 through 1915 to first conquer and, failing that, to control cancer--a dual approach that remains in force to this day. He reveals the messiness of real-time scientific research, tracing the repeated lurches of promise, discoveries of hope, and the inevitable despair that always followed. Other barriers existed to the research, such as inconsistency in test standards and inter-laboratory competition and mistrust. Researchers approached cancer from such disparate specialties as clinical medicine, zoology, botany, chemistry, nutrition, bacteriology, pathology, and microbiology. Although they came from diverse fields, each steadfastly maintained that cancer operated in an analogous fashion to other bacteriological diseases.

A History of the Future
Author: Peter J. BowlerPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108547540
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
In this wide-ranging survey, Peter J. Bowler explores the phenomenon of futurology: predictions about the future development and impact of science and technology on society and culture in the twentieth century. Utilising science fiction, popular science literature and the novels of the literary elite, Bowler highlights contested responses to the potential for revolutionary social change brought about by real and imagined scientific innovations. Charting the effect of social and military developments on attitudes towards innovation in Europe and America, Bowler shows how conflict between the enthusiasm of technocrats and the pessimism of their critics was presented to the public in books, magazines and exhibitions, and on the radio and television. A series of case studies reveals the impact of technologies such as radio, aviation, space exploration and genetics, exploring rivalries between innovators and the often unexpected outcome of their efforts to produce mechanisms and machines that could change the world.
