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."
This book represents the proceedings of the 3rd International
Symposium on Body Surface Mapping (BSM) held at Nijmegen; the
Netherlands, from 11th to 13th of June, 1985, under the auspices of
the International Council on Electrocardiology. This meeting
brought together a group of international scientists en- gaged in
the field of the study of electrocardiographic body surface po-
tentials. Previous meetings of this kind took place at Burlington,
Vt; U.S.A. in 1972, organized by Rush and Lepeschkin, and in 1982
at Tokyo or- ganized by Yamada, Harumi and Musha. The special aims
of this 3rd International Symposium were: - to take stock of recent
theoretical, technical, clinical and analytical advances - to
discuss and stimulate future developments with respect to
internatio- nal cooperation - to discuss promising clinical
applications of the BSM technique A number of scientists engaged in
this field had been invited to parti- cipate in this meeting,
either by presenting a formal, introductory lec- ture, or by
presenting a poster devoted to their more recent work. The ~n-
vitation list was made up following suggestions of the scientific
com- mittee for this meeting, the members of which were: (Parma;
Italy) Prof.Dr. B. Taccardi Prof.Dr. F.A. Roberge (Montreal;
Canada) Prof.Dr. A. van Oosterom (Nijmegen; The Netherlands). The
organizing committee noted with great satisfaction that almost all
people invited were indeed able to attend.
