Archives of the Middlesex Hospital

In the present Volume are included the details of all cases that were microscopically diagnosed as malignant disease, and were admitted into the Hospital - whether the General Wards or the Special Cancer Wards - during the year 1904. In addition, Papers on various aspects of Cancer have been contributed by the Staff of the Laboratory and others.

The present volume is largely statistical, and the plan of introducing papers dealing in detail with special seats of malignant disease in the light of the records of the Hospital will be continued in future Reports. In this way not only will the large store of material accumulated at the Hospital since 1747 be utilized, but also a sound basis will be laid for future work.

I have much pleasure in acknowledging the cordial assistance which has been given me during the past year by all my colleagues in the Laboratories.
