Despite the exhaustive studies of surgeons and pathologists the cause of human cancer and the extraordinary amount of Wprk i1 animal cancer since 1902i we do not yet know definitely the cause ‘i! the Orisin and the continuous growth of malignant tumors. But we do know that certain conditions are often followed by tumors in susccptaiblo subjects. A single injury such as a wound or ‘blow is not followed by a new growth but ions continued iffilfl- tion from a pipe or cigarette a iiugh or carious tooth, poorly fit- iug bridgerwork. an unhealthy ul- cer mny uurl tic-as often result in n cancerous growth especially if a person is in the cancerous z-ge. Such irritation we know is nOtfhu true cnusc nf tho disease hut is a strong contrlnuurv factor in its cause, because only a small pro- portion of such irrltntive r-on- ditions go mi to malignancy. For instance varicose ulcers of the kegs which are always subject to irritation rarely lead to cancer. Smoking is a common habit and’, Yet cancer of the lip occurs in,‘ only a small proportion of amok-i are, so it is not proper to say that these irritations are the definite cause because all such conditions should be followed by malignant grovrths, but we do say that there are strong predisposing causes. A large number of statistics are now zivallmble gathered from the Records cf insurance Cfllllnanfes and the Vital Statis- iics departments of different counf tries. Those records show that cancer is rare in childhood. It in- creases slowly from 20 to 35, then mnidli‘ to 55 in women and 65 in men.

While cancer attacks nll races the highest mortality is among the more civilized rncos but this may be due to more careful diag- nosis and better records. It is a safe gem-ml assumption that in a population of "the same age nnd ru-o and distribution tne death rate will ‘ho about tho same. Cancer is not contagious and there need be no fear of anyone catching a malignant disease by caring for one affected with it. it ls a matter of some don-ht whether cancer is increasing relatively, or not. The increase shown in some countries is due to hotter records being kept. A iotof the increase recorded may be due that record are not sufficiently accurate to l reliable but we know enough to realise that the death ntc in enor- intm and that it out be‘ reduced lint on the death rots from Tuber to w»: otOhmwn-Y’ odools has been mducod.
