Abstract
A study of the healing of peritoneal defects in the rat in the presence of the Walker 256 tumour has been made. The healing process was investigated histologically, by autoradiography, and by hydroxyproline estimation of the healing peritoneal wound. There was no difference in the rates or quality of the healing process in the control or tumour bearing animals.
