Integrating modalities in cancer management.
The emergence of effective chemotherapy for some tumours, and improved understanding of tumour biology, and of factors limiting disease control by surgery and radiotherapy have led to a multidisciplinary strategy of cancer management for many patients. The clinical and laboratory considerations in this development are summarised, and the results of some treatment programmes which integrate surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are discussed.
