Partial advice 6 concerning results of cancer therapy

Results of cancer treatment using surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are critically evaluated for different kinds of cancer. The report is divided in chapters each concerning carcinomas in a typical human organ. For each organ (mammae, bronchi, skin, ovaries, cervix, endometrium, prostate, bladder, kidney, testis), the three therapies are discussed. Hematological tumors, head-neck tumors, tumors of the central nervous system and the tractus digestivus are also considered. In the introduction of each chapter, incidence, histology and the natural history of the tumor are described. (G.J.P.)
