Pathogenesis and Immunology of Tumours. Edited by G. V. VYGODCHIKOV.Translated by R. Crawford. Pergamon Press Inc.. 122 East 55th St., New York 22, N. Y., 1959. vii 258 pp. 14 x 21.5 cm. Price80s. net. This book contains a collection of papers by leading Russian specialists, and is sponsored by the Gamaleia Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology. It has been produced to honor the 60th birthday of L. A. Zil’ber, and to commemorate his thirty-five years of service to science. L. A. Zil’ber and his colleague have discovered facts of importance in their investigations on the etiology and immunology of tumors. They estabilished the presence of specific antigens in neoplasms, and elaborated the original method for their demonstration, as well as a method for artificial immunization against experimental cancer with preparations not containing living cancer cells. The collection has been made mainly from works by pupils and colleagues of L. A. Zil’ber. It includes, also, papers by other investigators working in the field of theoretical oncology. All these investigations deal with current problems in the pathogenesis of malignant tumors and their immunology.
