Abstract
Today a clinician who embarks on or specializes in cancer chemotherapy must have a basic knowledge of the mechanism of action of at least a dozen or more chemical agents which are active against cancer: and he must be aware of the importance of cell kinetics, dose schedules of those drugs, toxicity and its management, and the pharmacological background of the drugs he is using, particularly their mutual interactions and individual behavior. He must always be aware of the problems which can develop with individual patients.
