The Boerhaave Committee for postgraduate Medical Education decided
to organize a course on cancer treatment covering selected solid
tumors, in which they felt important chan ges were emerging in the
basic biologic, diagnostic and therapeutic concepts. Current
management of cancer patients is intimately dependent on precise
morphologic diagnosis, clinical staging and the proper application
of all treat ment modalities. Many prominent investigators and
clinicians of major can cer centers in the United States, Canada,
and Europe con tributed by lecturing and during the panel
discussions. This book is the tangible outcome of the productive ex
changes during the meeting held December 6-8, 1979. In ovarian
cancer the usefulness of histologic grading in determining
prognosis has become clear. The most impor tant advance for the
management of the patient is th- careful staging procedure, based
on new concepts of tumor spread coupled with treatment tailored to
the extent of disease. Survival appears to be directly related to
the extent of the tumor mass. This has resulted in description and
application of optimal cyto-reductive surgery. Radiotherapy and
chemotherapy can both effectively eradi cate small amounts of
tumor."
