Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Archives of the Middlesex Hospital, Vol. 7: Fifth Report From the Cancer Research Laboratories, 1906
Besides the cases that have been mentioned, a certain number of patients Were admitted (either to the general wards or to the special wards) in which the diagnosis of malignant disease was not made certain by histological examination. These are grouped in two classes according to the relative probability of accuracy in the diagnosis.
In the first group the diagnosis was founded on naked eye appearances or on touch, but the patients were discharged unrelieved from Hospital at their own request, or else left the Hospital relieved after palliative operation cases of colotomy, gastrostomy, gastro-jejunostomy).
In the second group the diagnosis was made on clinical grounds alone.
