Abstract
Medical history substantiates the significant status of Nature In scientific communications. Therefore, this paper demonstrates that Nature’s footsteps are veritably traceable in the microenvironment of the thoracic duct in lung cancer cases, with regard to the necrosis of the cells being transported in it. Accordingly, Nature gives notice that, if translational research is carried out on consenting patients, the resultant breakthrough will probably conduce to cancer cure.
Highlights
Since writing my embryonic paper on the history of cancer back in 1958 as regards Horner’s syndrome [1]
In the 1847 translation by Robert Willis of the Works of William Harvey proper, there is a petite problem presented : Nature is herself to be addressed; the paths she shows us are to be boldly trodden; for and whilst we consult our proper senses, from inferior advancing to superior levels, shall we penetrate at length into the heart of her mystery
William Gull [5] in his 1870 Harveian Oration addressed his listeners on Nature! As he put it instructively, “what the student of nature’s mysteries always needs to remember is that his position is viewing things from his own centre rather than from the centre. What he has to avoid is that discouragement does not pass into denial.”. In another Harveian Oration, Sir William Roberts [6] ruminated on the theme that “Science advances by a succession of discoveries.”
Summary
Since writing my embryonic paper on the history of cancer back in 1958 as regards Horner’s syndrome [1]. This and other issues led me to develop the hypothesis that a hitherto unknown Factor was at work and that it is one that translational medicine can decode [3] In this context, Inoted that the greats thought in terms of Nature’s definite roles.this long standing welcome aspect of history requires exposition. In the 1847 translation by Robert Willis of the Works of William Harvey proper, there is a petite problem presented : Nature is herself to be addressed; the paths she shows us are to be boldly trodden; for and whilst we consult our proper senses, from inferior advancing to superior levels, shall we penetrate at length into the heart of her mystery. What he has to avoid is that discouragement does not pass into denial.” In another Harveian Oration, Sir William Roberts [6] ruminated on the theme that “Science advances by a succession of discoveries.” As he continued, “Each discovery constitutes a permanent addition to natural knowledge – and furnishes a post of vantage for, and a suggestion to, further discoveries.” On his part, Julius Cohnheim [7], the great German pathologist, was forthright that autopsy findings “ are all ina manner experiments instituted by nature, which we need only rightly interpret to get a clear idea of the causes, laws of growth, and significance of the tumour.”
