Abstract
Many classical concepts about the nature of normal and neoplastic growth have a largely intuitive basis and are often proved erroneous when confronted with quantitative data. The recent development and application of sophisticated analytical methods has shown that proliferative growth is a function of many complicated interdependent parameters, all of which require careful definition. Nevertheless, it is apparent that growth and cell division are certainly among the most striking attributes of cancer.
