Abstract

The vital activities and the morphology of cells seem to depend to a large extent upon the chemical composition and reaction of the surrounding liquid medium in which the cells are normally found or into which they may be placed for experimental purposes (Haagen, 1). This observation has furnished the basis for the investigations which are herein presented. Taking the cell and its environment as a unit, this study attempts to correlate certain chemical findings in the blood of cancer patients with the morphologic findings in the tumors from the same patient. Changes in the environment, the blood, might possibly be reflected in the histologic structure of the tumor, and, on the other hand, the vital activity of the tumor cells as expressed by the degree of maturity might affect the chemical reaction and composition of the environment.
