Abstract: Abstract Cancer encompasses a family of several hundreds of diseases which are distinguished in humans by site, morphology, clinical behaviour and response to therapy. Whether considered from a biological, a clinical or a public health point of view, it is the malignant and invasive nature of many of these diseases that is of dominant importance.
