title: [New cytostatic drugs. Status: 1986].
abstract: In oncology phase-II studies are planned for testing antitumor activity in a series of malignant tumors. Most important is the development of drugs from entirely new classes of chemicals, fermentation products etc. Clinical research with analogues of known cytotoxic drugs aims at broader spectra of activity and at decreased toxicity in an attempt to avoid, for example, the cardiac toxicity of the anthracyclines or the renal and gastrointestinal toxicities of cis-platinum.
