The percentage of survivors in Class I is not only much higher than in any other class, but, if allowance be made for deaths from causes other than cancer, remains almost constant up to the ten year period. 2. A not inconsiderable percentage of the more advanced cases survive three years after operation—a smaller number survive five years, but only an occasional case survives up to ten years. 3. The cases classed as (?) I and (?) II are at no period so favourably placed as those of Class I and II re- spectively. In the latter class the results approximate more to those of Class III than to those of Class IT taken alone.
