Oncology of invertebrates.
In this article, "Invertebrates" are considered to be all those animals that are not in the five main groups of vertebrates (Mammalia,Aves, Reptilia, Amphibia, and three classes of fish), and the term neoplasm is used in its traditional sense of "new, uncontrolled, growth". The history of study of such lesions is reviewed and methods of investigation and control are outlined.
