Vertébrés Résumé : It is an honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the Smithsonian Institution for this Conference on Neoplasms on Related Disorders of Invertebrate and Lower Vertebrate Animals. This Symposium is sponsored by the Registry of Tumors in Lower Animals, which was established jointly by the National Cancer Institute and the Smithsonian Institution only a few years ago for the collection and study of neoplasms and related disorders in lower animals. We consider this a very important project and one that clearly overlaps areas traditionally devoted primarily to the.field of medicine and areas devoted primarily to the field of biology. Unfortunately, this region of biomedicine has been neglected. Biologists have devoted massive efforts to the increase of knowledge and understanding of living systems at all levels of complexity, while virtually ignoring the fact that every cell is liable to death. Diseased and otherwise abnormal specimens are ignored or discarded, sometimes contemptuously. I recall my distaste for preserving the occasional specimen of my own rare waterfowl collection that had died from some cause showing evidence of an unusual disease. When I did preserve such specimens, I had occasion to bring them to my late colleague Dr. Duraii-Reynals at the Yale Medical School and was able to help him with more than one brain tumor in waterfowl. Medical scientists, on the other hand, have vigorously studied diseases in humans and selected other mammals in an effort to find cures. In the process, they too have given little consideration to the possibility that pertinent information might be readily obtainable from studies in the simpler systems of the lower vertebrates and invertebrates. The Smithsonian Institution has a tradition of pioneering in areas of neglect and is happy to cooperate with the National Cancer Institute on this project. This is the first international meeting ever convened specifically to consider tumors and tumorigenesis in lower animals. The material discussed and made available here will be strongly suggestive of the potential value of studies in lower animal pathology to our medical and environmental welfare. Let us hope the scientific world will be so challenged that this potential will be realized.
