title: [General medical aspects of oncology].
abstract: Oncology has made great progress in recent years, which is about to be translated into general practice. This development is urgently needed to adequately cope with the large quantity of cancer patients. An introduction into some of the most important aspects of practical oncology is given in the following article. Since care for the cancer is a difficult subject in terms of diagnosis as well as treatment, medically as well as psychologically, there must be an active cooperation between the clinical cancer center and the practicing oncologist: Specialized cancer treatment, research and education based primarily at the clinical center - general lifelong support and comprehensive care for the patient at the community level offered by his personal practicing oncologist.
