See, for example, ref. 1 and Pullman, A., and Pullman, B., Adv. Cancer Res., 3, 117 (1955). It may be added that these fundamental phenomena are accounted for satisfactorily by the K–L regions theory of carcinogenesis, developed in these references.
They have been considered possibly to play a part in such cases by a number of authors (see ref. 1).
