Abstract

Based on a Dissertation read before the Royal Medical Society on Friday, 16th January 1959.

AN overall view of the adequacy of the treatment of cancer at the moment presents a very dismal picture. To be satisfactory this treatment must mean cure, but until the cause or causes of cancer are known this will seldom be achieved. The possible means of treatment available are:-Surgery, Radiotherapy. Chemotherapy, Serotherapy and Psychobiological methods. Prophylactic measures designed to prevent a person from getting cancer are, of course, of great importance also.
