By Dawson F. D. Turner, M.D., F.R.C.P., Physician in Charge of Radium Department, Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh A male, aged 65, was recommended to me by Professor Alexis Thomson for radium treatment in June 1911. He was suffering from a recurrent small-celled lymphosarcoma, which was inoperable. The first operation was performed on 21st August 1909. The tumour was then situated in the axilla, and...

Lymphoblastoma involving the ovaries, either primarily or secondarily, appears to be a very unusual condition. Less than a dozen instances of metastatic lymphoblastonla have been described. In a review of lymphosarcoma of the female genitalia, published in 1934, Walther ' records only two primary ovarian lymphosarcomas, one from the literature and one from his own material. Since that time no c...

BACKGROUND A number of laboratories have reported a possible link between behavioral stress and cancer progression. Previously published findings demonstrated a stress-induced increase in tumor growth of implanted lymphosarcoma in C3H mice. Here, two mouse models were utilized to investigate whether stress alters the growth of solid tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a stress paradigm...

Rabbit antisera to rat lymphosarcoma contain antibodies that are cytolytic for rat erythrocytes in the presence of complement. The reaction can be inhibited completely by pure cytolipin R showing that (a) immune hemolysis can be mediated through lipid determinants in the membrane, and (b) that cytolipin R determinants are present in the intact erythrocyte membrane and exposed on the surface. Op...
