Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from What We Know About Cancer: A Handbook for the Medical Profession In February, 1917, by vote of the National Council of the American Society for the Control of Cancer, a committee was appointed to prepare the manuscript of a Handbook on Cancer for circulation among the members of the medical profession of the United States. This was done as a part of the campaign the Society inaugurated for the collection and dissemination of facts in regard to cancer, to the end that its mortality might be reduced by a wider knowledge of the disease. The first manuscript was submitted to the Council of the Society at a meeting in April, 1917. The manuscript was then sent to a number of different members of the Council for the critical review of special sections of the pamphlet. The criticisms and suggestions thus obtained were utilized in a subsequent revision of the manuscript, which was submitted to the Council at a meeting held on Oct.26, 1918, and with certain changes, accepted and ordered published with the endorsement of the Council and in the name of the Society. The Handbook is designed to provide in a brief and readily accessible form the important facts about cancer in general, and its manifestations in the different situations where it most commonly occurs. The critical and controversial review of published statistics as to the end-results of operative treatment could not be included without enlarging greatly the size and scope of the publication. It was decided, therefore, to present only in general terms the expectation of success attending the radical operative treatment of cancer in each of its different situations. It is believed that in these statements, as in other respects, a conservative view has been taken of the situation, and that the statements made can be thoroughly substantiated by the published experience of the foremost surgeons of the country. Robert B. Greenough, M. D., Chairman, Boston, Mass. James Ewing, M. D., New York, N.Y. Jonathan M. Wainwright, M. D., Scranton, Pa. Committee on Publication of Handbook on Cancer. Oct.24, 1918.
