Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cancer and Other Tumours of the Stomach
The old method of classifying gastric carcinomata according to their macroscopical appearances has been responsible for so many erroneous conclusions respecting their pathology and clinical aspect that we have adopted the nomenclature suggested by Drs. Perry and Shaw in their admirable article in the Guy's Hospital Reports, and have employed the terms 'scirrhus, ? Medullary and adeno-carcinoma to indicate growths which possess a definite. Histological structure. The substitution of the microscope for the naked eye has also had the effect of demonstrating that the infectivity of a carcinoma of the stomach is infinitely more rapid and diffuse than the presence of visible metastases has been held to indicate; and we are convinced that much of _the non-success that has attended the performance of pylorectomy has arisen from a deficient appreciation of the widespread nature of the disease.
