ably because it is the most simple and apparently the easiest. It must never be forgotten that the examiner must see with the mind as well as the eye ; that is, he must think as he looks. Inspection forms that part of our examination which is so intimately related to the history. It should be broad and all including. Its interpretation must condition our subsequent conclu¬ sions. To quote from Clendening : "Disease leaves its mark upon the look in a man's eye, the mottling of his skin, the swing of his leg, the bend of his back, and the heave of his chest. It is for you to read these signs." Palpation confirms and extends inspection and adds certain information of its own. It informs us as to the degree of pain and tenderness, spasm, fluctuation, heat, consistency of tissues, the presence of masses or tumors, their size, contour and location.The education of the palpating hand is just as impor¬ tant in the making of a preoperative examination as in the exploration of the abdomen or other body cavity. On interruption of the examining hand may depend the life of the patient.Much information is to be gained from percussion

The treatment of endometrial cancer has been surgical, traditionally, with preoperative radiation gaining favor in the past three decades. This surgical treatment has been confined to simple hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in most clinics because of the pattern of spread of corpus cancer and the alleged benignity of this disease. Even now, the role of radical surgery, the timing of radiation therapy and its mode, and the place of hormonal treatment for primary disease are still the subject of discussion and clinical investigation. The definition of virulence factors and an appropriate staging dependent upon these factors has helped to clarify some of these problems and will help the analysis of cure rates when we can understand the selection of the material. With such a prospect for quality control and establishment of a protocol of individualization of treatment, we have a right to expect that appropriate surgical and radiotherapeutic measures will gain their proper priority and adjuvant hormonal therapy and chemotherapy may be incorporated.
