Not yet, however, has the point been attained where the established infor mation regarding cancer permits of synthesis into a clear and readily dis tinguishable pattern. There is an ever-increasing extension of research activities on cancer, made possible by broad, intelligent public interest and professional support. Funds available for investigations on cancer in the United States alone have mounted from approximately one million dollars in 1940 to 18 millions in 1948 (1). Experimental data from many scientific disciplines, some demand ing verification and others which may be immaterial or actually misleading, crowd the massive literature (2). There are now four journals in the English language that are devoted exclusively to cancer. Valuable monographs (3 to 6), reviews (7 to 10), and symposia (11 to 14) have attempted to present and to evaluate the available information.
