Abstract:
The chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer has evolved into a major treatment modality. Better results than ever before are being recorded with the integration of this approach into the early and total management of cancer. Although complex and toxic, these drugs and their combinations are contributing in new ways to the treatment of more and more patients. More than 50% of those people afflicted with cancer in 1991 became long-term survivors. Most of these survivors are destined to be followed on a long-term basis by their family doctor.
