title: Changing trends in cancer management.
abstract: Changing trends in cancer management are reviewed, with special reference to multidisciplinary consultation and combined treatment methods. Earlier diagnosis at the primary site and earlier detection of metastatic spread influence treatment policy. Considering the need for public education, the epidemiological search for causative agents and the concept of practical psychological support for cancer sufferers, it is apparent that the comprehensive management of the whole cancer problem in a community is equally as important as the narrower concept of treatment in an individual patient.
