[Deontologic problems in the medical treatment of tumors].
An attempt is made to discuss deontological problems, related with pharmacological treatment of malignant tumors, according to the traditions of N.N. Petrov, who always paid great attention to the problems of morality and ethics in oncology. The stages of experimental tests of new substances and recommendations for their clinical application are described. Nonscientific approach to the estimation and practical use of new substances is critisized. It is concluded that the problems of selection of the optimum method of treatment for each particular case should be considered by three specialists together: a surgeon, a radiologist and a therapeutist.
