The Philosophy of Tumour-Disease - A Research for Principles of its Treatment

"The Philosophy of Tumour-Disease" by Charles Pitfield Mitchell is a thought-provoking investigation into what tumour disease truly is—and, more importantly, what it implies for how it should be treated. Rather than treating tumours as a purely mechanical problem, Mitchell searches for deeper principles that can guide therapy, asking how underlying causes, patterns of growth, and the behavior of diseased tissue should shape medical decisions. Through a research-minded and reflective approach, the book aims to connect observation with guiding ideas, proposing that effective treatment depends not only on techniques, but on a coherent understanding of the disease itself. The Philosophy of Tumour-Disease - A Research for Principles of its Treatment is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1890.
