Abstract

VERY little is known about whether, or how far, the condition of intercellular cementing substances as present in the tissue of a growth may be responsible for local invasion and for metastasis1,2. The situation is all the more complex as neoplastic cells may even themselves produce polysaccharides3, which are considered to be the fundamental chemical constituents of the intercellular cement. The condition of the cementing substances in 13 transplantable tumours in mice have been studied in this laboratory. Results are summarized in Table 1.
