Abstract

One of the basic principles of clinical oncology is recognition of the extent of disease at the time of presentation and tailoring of therapy to encompass the full extent of the malignant process. Such a process, when applied to individual patients, must take into account the extent of clinically detectable disease, the problems of spread, and the presumed preexisting clinically occult disease. Only then can adequate therapy be offered.
