Abstract

From the standpoints of etiology possibly no area in oncology today has received more attention and excited concern, than that shown for malignancies of the reticuloendothelial system. This has been due primarily to the compelling quest for a viral etiology for malignancies having their origin in this tissue. Remarkable advances in this area have been made at the infra-human level and it is indeed fascinating that the role of genetic or host factors is intertwined with viral oncogenesis in the various species that have been studied.
