SYNOPSIS. Of 60 malignant tumours occurring among 227,000 West African soldiers, from 1940 to 1945, 37 were primary liver carcinomata. *The cause of this high incidence of liver cancer is considered to be a diet deficient in sulphur‐containing amino acids, associated with infective hepatitis, malaria, alcohol, and other toxins.
