“Malignant growths occur when a cell, a group of cells, or a tissue disassociates itself from its environment and forms an independent entity which lives from the rest of the organism. Morphologically these growths exhibit a disorderly and purposeless structure similar to that of embryonic tissue; their cells exhibit an abnormal structure of irregular, very differentiated appearance. A malignant growth grows rapidly and independently from the rest of the organism. With its growth it destroys the surrounding normal tissue, to some extent by means of the pressure which occurs due to its expansion, but primarily by immediate destruction. The growth penetrates the neighboring intercellular spaces, the blood cells, and the lymph cells in part by means of hairlike plasma extensions, in part, however, by scattering single cells or small particles into the blood and lymph system. These embed themselves in a more distant organ and form new tumor centers, which have the same destructive characteristics as the mother tumor.”
