| Abstract: | As far back as the first World War it was observed that mustard gas had a cytotoxic effect on the hemopoletic tissues. In 1931, attempts were initiated to test its value in the treatment of neoplastic diseases, and at the beginning of the last war, experiments with its nitrogen derivatives were again renewed in England. It was in America, however, that reports of clinical trials were first published. |
