Abstract
A "PRELIMINARY Report on a Survey of the Situation in Cancer", by Dr. Fritz Blank, appears in the Archives of Surgery, Chicago (49, No. 5, 301; 1944). The general interest of the study warrants a digest showing the limits of the field surveyed and the findings. In his foreword, Prof. F. A. E. Crew points out that this survey of the biological background in cancer is the first major attempt by the Bureau of Human Heredity (115 Gower Street, London, W.C.1) to present the results which can be achieved through the 'clearing-house method'. It has been made possible by international collaboration between the Institute and the Department of Medical Genetics of Ohio State University, both of which are foci of much friendly co-operation between individual workers and numerous institutes.
