title: [Evaluation of the experimental program of teaching about neoplasms in Warsaw schools].
abstract: The study was to test the cancer education curriculum offered by teachers in 3 types of schools in Warsaw. The knowledge of cancer grew by 6% in the experimental schools and by 2% in control schools. Similar results were obtained in schools of Lódź, where the subject was also taught by teachers. A considerable greater knowledge increase, by 27% on the average, was obtained in schools of Lublin, where the subject was taught by professional oncologist. This seems to indicate still insufficient qualification of school teachers as regards teaching about cancer, despite a handbook on the subject which has been prepared for them.
