British Journal of CancerThe Age Distribution of Cancer and a Multi-stage Theory of Carcinogenesis
1,560 Citations1954P. Armitage, Richard Doll
Two hypotheses about the mechanism of carcinogenesis have been put forward, which have been derived from analysis of cancer mortahty statistics, which considered that cancer in youth might be affected by special factors which were unhkely to operate at later ages.
British Journal of CancerThe age distribution of cancer and a multi-stage theory of carcinogenesis
1,314 Citations2004P. Armitage, Richard Doll
The theory that human cancer is the end-result of several successive cellular changes is tested by examining the age specific mortality rates for 17 types of cancer and provides a possible explanation for the observation that circumcision exerts an important protective effect against the development of cancer of the penis only if it be carried out early in life.
British Journal of CancerA Two-stage Theory of Carcinogenesis in Relation to the Age Distribution of Human Cancer
563 Citations1957P. Armitage, Ronald J. Doll
Several of the other principal epidemiological characteristics of human cancer could also be accounted for if carcinogenesis were a complex process of six or seven stages and the degree of exposure to the factors inducing the changes from one stage to another varied, either with age or from one year to another.
British journal of surgeryThe risk of developing appendicitis
32 Citations1965John Ludbrook, G. F. S. Spears
As some air nearly always remains trapped in a fibrillating ventricle it is desirable to defibrillate the heart, if possible, before decannulating the coronary arteries and releasing the aortic clamp, to prevent overdistension and pulmonary oedema.
British Journal of UrologyOBSERVATIONS ON THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA IN WALES
25 Citations1966David J. B. Ashley
There is a greater susceptibility, mediated by genetic factors, to prostatic hyperplasia among Welshmen, and there is an excessive differential death–rate within Wales related to the proportion of Welsh–speaking men in the population.
Journal of Medical GeneticsThe use of the surname as a genetic marker in Wales.
25 Citations1966David J. B. Ashley, H. Dele Davies
To some extent the population of the Principality of Wales, especially the industrial areas of South East Wales, is heterogeneous, comprising the Welsh, descended from the long-standing inhabitants of this part of the world and the immigrants who have arrived mostly within the past hundred or so years.

21 Citations1966David J. B. Ashley, H. Dele Davies
An attempt is made to assess the relative risk of death from this neoplasm in the Welsh and non-Welsh people of Wales respectively.
Journal of Medical GeneticsPyridoxine-responsive anaemia determined by an X-linked gene.
14 Citations1966M. W. Elves, M. S. Bourne +1 more
Details of a family in which a hereditary pyridoxine-responsive anaemia occurred are reported, and the haematological picture is of a hypochromic anaemia with microcytic red cells which show anisocytosis and poikilocyTosis and often target cells.

7 Citations1967David J. B. Ashley
The present investigation is directed to a study of coronary artery disease in Wales with reference to the possibility that genetic factors may be responsible for the difference in mortality from this cause in Wales as compared with England.
