ABSTRACT SARCOMAS in general receive much less attention than carcinomas. There are two reasons for this: first, sarcomas are considerably outnumbered by carcinomas in most populations and,
second, environmental, that is, avoidable, factors have been more often aetiologically related to carcinomas than to sarcomas. For these reasons I have made this investigation. In
Afghanistan, sarcomas are not greatly outnumbered by carcinomas and I shall suggest that there may be an aetiological relationship between some sarcomas and an environmental factor, namely,
arthropod vectors. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
