Abstract
Cancer chemotherapy has achieved many great successes. Cytotoxic drug therapy can alone cure a significant number of patients with childhood leukemia, Hodgkins disease, diffuse histiocytic lymphoma, Burkitts tumor, choriocarcinoma in females and testicular carcinoma. Combined with surgery and/or radiation it has significantly improved the cure rates in pediatric tumors such as Wilms tumors, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, retinoblastoma and osteogenic sarcoma. Currently one of the major investigative thrusts in clinical research is the use of drugs as adjuvant to surgery and/or radiation in adult solid tumors such as breast cancer, colo-rectal cancer, head and neck cancer and ovarian cancer.
