dc.description.abstract
During the three years I have been a student of
clinical medicine and clinical surgery I have from the
first been interested in carcinomata, Especially was
my interest in this terrible disease stimulated while
in Sir John Fraser's clinic and I saw for the first
time how frequently it occurs and how seldom it reaches
hospital while still sufficiently localized for surgery
to intervene successfully.

dc.description.abstract
In choosing a series of six cases of carcinoma I
primarily selected the alimentary tract and secondly the
upper alimentary tract for the reason that I believe
there are certain carcinogenic factors in this area over
which we can exercise control such as alcohol ,hot foods
etc.

dc.description.abstract
In this series my main interest has been in carcinoma
of the fore-gut with one case of mid-gut carcinoma more
for a contrast as regards etiology, clinical features,etc.,
than for detailed discussion on malignancy of this
section of the alimentary tract.
