Abstract
IN a recently issued report, Dr. Gretta M. Thomas records the results of an inquiry undertaken at the instance of the Yorkshire Council of the British Empire Cancer Campaign under the direction of the Faculty of the General Infirmary at Leeds (Reps. on Pub. Health and Med. Subjects, No. 70. H.M. Stationery Office. Price 2s. 0d. net). One of the objectives of the inquiry was an attempt to ascertain whether environmental conditions associated with occupation or industry, other than those already recognised, are conducive to skin cancer; but no definite indications on this point were elicited. Many instances of the supervention of skin cancer upon a previously existing non-malignant lesion, such as lupus, were met with, and second cancers of the skin were found occasionally to occur in those who had suffered from the first growth at least six years previously. No facts were met with in explanation of the difference in incidence of lip cancer in the two sexes, which is considerably higher in males.
