title: [Hope and disappointment in cancer medicine].
abstract: Over the last few years fascinating new diagnostic procedures and innovative therapies with so-called "magic bullets" have been introduced into cancer medicine. However, hope stirred up by the introduction of these methods and therapies has to be rationally evaluated with regard to their success, their implementation in medical care, their compatibility with the patient's preferences and their benefit, also with regard to their high costs.
