Abstract
Based on an analysis of existing research on this issue, I.N.Nikolsky (Problems of Oncology, 1928, No. 1) finds that, although the endocrine system has a significant effect on cell growth, and in particular on the growth of elements of malignant neoplasms, it is unlikely from it the main incentives for this growth come. The latter must be sought, in all likelihood, in local changes occurring both in the cells themselves and in their environment, under the influence of various external and internal causes.
