JORNAL 20 is relativ,ely infrequent, anid the nuiimbers available for anialysis so small as not to repay the labour of extractioni.Tlie duration of miiamnmar-y canlcel is markedly lon(ger than that of any other cancer, wliile that of rectal cancer comes easily seconid.It is interesting to note that in carcinoma of the cervix radiumii treatmenit seems to prolong life by an average of six moniths, thus confirming the general opinioni amonigst surgeons that it is of service in these cases.Onll five cases of cancer of the breast were treated in this way, but of twenty-eight cases treated by x rays the average duIIration was only twenty-four moniths (against thirty-nine miionths for untreated cases), and( eaclh of the age per-iods show-ed a corresponding deficit.Tlle section of the table wlhich deals with the tlhyroid glanid contains, it will be, noticed, bracketed figures; these incelude one case the durationi of which was stated to be tlhirity Years.The patient ev-enituially died in the Cancer Hospital and the malignant niature of the growtlh was l)roved, but I find it difficu-lt to believe that it was originially malignanit, and coinsi(ler it probable that malignant change enisued in a previously inniocent tumour.The excess of twenty in the total cases of cancer of the cervix over the combinied totals treated by l)alliative measures and by r.adium is due to the fact that the former inumber contailns twenty cases wlhiich received x-ray' or1 combined x-iay and radium treatmenlt.Although thc figures given' by Lazarus-Barlow and Leeming lend sul)port to thme idea tlhatt cancer is mllor'e malignianit in younger thani in older persons, my figurle.stfford no confirmiiationi for such ani opiiono, andcl the duriationi of life appears fairly iuniiformn tlhrouiglhouit all the age periods.lor those sites which milay he affected in eitlher sex my fig1nu1cs give little, if anyv, inidicationi that the duratioII of life is greater in femnales thian in males.
