| Abstract: | In 1968 a paper by the undersigned appeared in this Gazette entitled "Cancer: an Immune Response Through Cell Evolution". Immediately afterwards, the eminent oncologist Sir Peter Medawar, found time to comment on it in a personal letter. He remarked it was very similar in many ways to the theory of the late Professor H.N. Green, with which he did not agree anyway. I have recently gone through Prof. Green's last and comprehensive-bock "An Immunological Approach To Cancer", which I recall having read before 1968 but to which I had made no reference because with respect, I considered my approach differed fundamentally from his. The function of enzyme hyaluronidase in relation to cancer with particular reference to the immune system response is here discussed. |
