The eighth annual multidisciplinary symposium on clinical oncol ogy
organised by the Royal College of Radiologists discussed the
subject of investigational techniques in oncology. It was held in
London in February 1986. This volume collects together the edited
texts of the papers which were presented at the meeting, together
with the George Edelstyn memorial lecture given by Professor J.
Einhorn. Clinicians rely very heavily on pathologists and
radiologists to help with the diagnosis and staging of patients who
present with malignant tumours. The conventional techniques to
which we have become accustomed are fast being supplemented by
exciting new approaches. These have moved very rapidly from being
purely experimental techniques to being a part of routine clinical
practice. Some of these new approaches have been highlighted in
this symposium. Recent advances in molecular biology have produced
various specific techniques for looking at phenotypic changes in
cells as detected by immunohistochemical probes. Visualisation of
genes and their transcripts in human biopsies has become a real
possibility using a wide and increasing range of molecular probes.
Some of the advantages of these techniques and their potential for
the future are presented here."
