title: The state of the art in pediatric surgery and pediatric oncology at MUSC Children's Hospital.
abstract: Two hundred years ago, the first pediatric textbook was pessimistic about treatment of diseases in children. Even 25 years ago the outlook for children with cancer was dismal. Now as we approach the year 2000, we look forward to more major advances in medical therapy which will improve the outlook for our children.
