[Therapy of neoplasms as self-organizing dissipative structures].
The lack of possibilities of forecasting the effectiveness of methods and procedures applied in particular cases of neoplasms and the effectiveness of different methods in similar stages of a disease progression, the latter not being understandable so far--can be easily explained thermodynamically. The results of there procedures is statistically conditioned and depends solely on the state of equilibrium between the host and the neoplasm. One can expect to be effective only such methods which strengthen or complement the adaptive-reconstructive-protective ability of a human organism, weakening at the same time or destroying the inner state of a neoplasm. Also in case of neoplasms, the most difficult to accept are the methods being ahead not as much of human knowledge as of the knowledge of medical practitioners.
