A. Rational and Experimental Basis of Post-Surgical Residual Therapies

Post-Surgical Radiotherapy: Rationale and Methods

  • Chapter
Adjuvant Therapies and Markers of Post-Surgical Minimal Residual Disease I

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 67))

Abstract

The surgeon can remove a tumor even when it is very large, but unless he performs a superradical procedure that is severely mutilating and not always effective, he often leaves microscopic disease near the line of resection.
