Abstract
Nowadays the aetiology and mechanism of development of malignant tumours are not clearly understood, there is no exact knowledge on their dissemination, their course is affected by numerous factors, and their incidence shows a rapid growth all over the world. Diagnostics and the successful management of cancer patients require a multidisciplinary team approach. The efforts of medicine are therefore fully justified, that is to say that uniform diagnostic and therapeutic principles should take shape, the data should be presented and evaluated on a common basis and the results obtained should be comparable.
The two most engaging powers of an author are to make new things familiar, familiar things new.
