title: [Alternative tumor therapy].
abstract: Our knowledge about the biology of malignant growth has changed. The tumor cell is not absolutely autonomous. The reactions of the host organism are important (e.g. hormone-dependent tumors). The so-called alternative medicine has always been of this opinion. Some of its methods seem worthy of consideration in cases where surgery, X-ray therapy and cytostatics have doubtful results.
