Abstract

The adoption of workman's compensation legislation in this country and abroad has brought to the fore an ever increasing number of petitions for compensation, the claim being made that a local injury is responsible for the subsequent development of a malignant growth in the part affected.

Many judicial opinions have been rendered in favor of the issue and the causal relationship is accepted by courts and compensation bureaus everywhere. That there are dissenters from this view is attested by the opinion of Dandy,1 who stated that, since sarcoma had never been produced experimentally by trauma, he did not think that injury had any bearing on either its cause or increased propagation. It is significant to observe that in this instance the commissioner ruled for the
