✦ Synopsis

In this review, cancer is conceived as an alteration of the suface-monitored social behavior of cells. Apart from impaired growth controls, loss of residency (tissue affiliation) is the most important consequence of this homeostatic disorder. It results in local spread (penetration) which is initiated by locomotive and/or desctructive activities of the neoplastic cells. Access of cancer elements to the circulation possibly leads to distant spread (metastasis). Penetration and metastasis largely depend upon reactions of the organism, which are of an ill-understood, ambiguous nature favoring both the tumor and the host.

IN cases of cancer of the rectum treated by radical excision the prognosis depends to a large extent on whether or not the lymphatic glands contain metastases. Our follow-up records at St. Mark's Hospital now show that in the A Group1 of cancer of the rectum, when the growth is removed by perineal e

Tumour latency, or dormancy, is a well-recognized clinical phenomenon and induction or maintenance of this state would appear to offer a novel therapeutic approach to limiting the effects of neoplastic disease. Current interest has focused on the role that neovascularization plays in this process an

## Abstract This paper investigates the question of whether different types of histology at the same site can affect the spread of metastases—that is, producing a greater or fewer number of metastases depending on the histological diagnosis. Autopsy records were the source of the data analyzed in t
