Abstract
We have an ethical obligation to search for better therapies for most types of cancer. A cooperative study group offers the opportunity for oncologists to answer scientific questions that lie beyond the capability of a single institution. The objectives are to define sound medical hypotheses, develop and execute the investigations that will provide answers to the hypotheses, and thereby improve cancer treatment and patient care.
