New techniques make it possible for investigators to examine and sometimes quantify various aspects of nuclear morphology and function; now they can derive clinically and biologically useful information about the nucleus.

Acute leukemia a quite homogenous disease failed to break through the sound barriere of when untreated reveals a substantial hetero- unsatisfactory cure rates even in special sub- geneity in its response to therapy.

"e;Internal"e; hyperthermia is a type of thermotherapy by which heat is sup- plied to tumor tissue in situ.

This book fills a gap in the literature where an up-to-date account is needed of the present indications for laparoscopy in light of noninvasive diagnostic imaging.

The enormous potential that hyperthermia has for benefiting patients with cancer is impressively indicated by biological studies, both in vitro and in vivo, and by comparative clinical studies whenever the heat has been appro- priate to the size of the tumor.

The development of equipment capable of producing and monitoring safe, effective and predictable hyperthermia treatments represents a major challenge.

You see things, and sa)' why?

It is surprising, and even disappointing, that there have been very few meetings and published volumes resulting from these meetings that focus attention upon all of the groups of DNA tumor viruses.

In the past, research in cancer immunology has produced informa- tion important for other medical disciplines.

Whereas platinum compounds are already clinically used as anticancer agents, tin compounds exhibiting high enough antitumour activity have not yet been found to enter the clinical phase.

More than 25 years ago, when ultrasound diagnostic methods were first intro- duced into gynecology and obstetrics, few of the pioneers of these techniques sus- pected what importance sonographic diagnosis was destined to assume.

When presented with the task of editing a volume on such a wide When presented with the task of editing a volume on such a wide and and diverse diverse topic topic as as Ovarian Ovarian Pathology, Pathology, it it is is difficult difficult to to know know how how to to limit limit the the range range of of subjects subjects to to be be covered covered when when there there are are so so many many taxonomical taxonomical entities, entities, both both neoplastic neoplastic and and reactive reactive that that could could be be included.

In more than 20 contributions new trends in cancer therapy are reviewed and critically discussed by highly competent authors.

The International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), a nonprofit, public foundation, was established in 1978 to advance the sciences of nutrition, toxicology, and food safety.

After the discovery of the function of MHC molecules, namely to provide the context for T cell recognition of foreign antigens, in 1974 Zinkernagel and Doherty made the first drawing of MHC+X (Fig.

Transcutaneous ultrasonography is an established procedure for diagnosis and therapy in gastroenterology.
