219 are entirely local questions which form the ordeal first of the
primary diag nostician and later, more severely, of the surgeon.
The handedness of the patient, in tumors of the hemispheres; the
relationship of the growth to silent or to indispensible areas; the
degree of inevitable damage that must be done; the chronicity of
the lesion; the degree of visual disturbance and the extent of its
probable subsequent regression toward normal; the benefit to the
patient as a member of society or of the family circle; - all must
enter into the decision. Recently the most distinguished
neurosurgeon of the present time has released mortality statistics
concerning his 30 years' experience at the operating table with
intracranial tumors; these are given to contemporary and future
neurosurgeons as a "'score' to compete against and ... to improve
upon if possible" (89). The entire statistic covers 2.882 tumor
cases, of which 2.023 were verified. The table for the final three
years (1928-1931), which may be accepted as a creditable best for
contemporary neurosurgery, is given below: Table 2. Mortality
percentages of Dr. HARVEY CUSHING, Boston, 1928-1931 (88)."
