ABSTRACT | REFERENCES

There are two general approaches that the chemical analyst may employ in the study of malignant disease. The first of these is the direct chemical analysis of tumors, and comparison of such findings with those obtained in identical fashion on normal tissues and organs. The second approach is the chemical analysis of the tissues, circulating fluids, secretions, and excreta of cancerous patients, and comparison of such findings with those obtained on the same materials from normal persons. In the former case, it is expected that such information will yield a picture of the chemical processes inherent in the neoplastic transformation of tissues. In the latter case, it is expected that such information will give a description of the systemic effects induced by a tumor on the host that bears it, at a site or sites removed from the tumor, and in a state free of metastatic involvement. It is with
