Abstract
THE thirteenth annual report of the British Empire Cancer Campaign was presented at a meeting held at the House of Lords on November 23. The report gives an effective summary compiled by institutions and individuals of the greater part of British research on malignant disease. The field of cancer research may be divided into three parts: the origin of the disease; the nature of malignant growths; and the effect of treatment in alleviating or curing the disease. Investigations in man, in animals and in cells growing outside the body in tissue culture have been made in all three directions during the last year.
