By Ch. Herfarth, P. Schlag (auth.), Prof. Dr. Peter Bannasch (eds.)
In greater than 20 contributions new traits in melanoma treatment are reviewed and severely mentioned by way of hugely efficient authors. Their contributions are according to a world symposium and canopy all significant fields of scientific oncology. exact emphasis is given to surgical oncology (including photodynamic laser treatment and radiosurgery), radiation oncology, hyperthermia, new antineoplastic brokers, enzyme-pattern-targeted chemotherapy, drug resistance, organic reaction modifiers, bone marrow transplantation, antibody guided remedy, induction of cellphone differentiation in reworked cells, and the individualization of tumor remedy. The stimulating dialogue on the finish of every part protecting those subject matters will particulary profit the scientific oncologist and all researchers dedicated to the advance of melanoma therapy.

Cancer Neutron Capture Therapy
There are numerous human cancers which actively synthesize particular attribute proteins resembling melanomas, thyroid melanoma and squamous mobilephone carcinoma. Many melanoma researchers have after all attempted to make use of this particular job as a key for the selective therapy of cancers. some time past for instance, the molecular hybrid compound of DOPA, a substrate of melanin, and nitrogen mustard N-oxide hydrochloride, a ctyotoxic anti-tumor drug, was once synthesized as Melphalan and used to regard malignant cancer.
Testicular Cancer and Other Tumors of the Genitourinary Tract
The complaints of this quantity signify a checklist of a gathering within the Ettore Majorana heart in Erice, Sicily from 16-24 July, 1983. This was once the 5th process the foreign institution of Urology and Nephrology, the fourth in a sequence of conferences dedicated to diversified features of Urological Oncology.

As local or locoregional failure of therapy is the cause of death in about onethird of all tumor patients, the development of methods for improved local tumor control is still expected to dominate research activities in the next 5-10 years (de Vita 1983; Kuttig 1987). The other important aspect of these research and development activities, of course, is to reduce side effects in normal tissue and to improve the quality of life of tumor patients after treatment. There are different directions within the field of radiotherapy research which can be followed in order to reach these goals.

An active program (Ophthalmology Proton Therapy Instruction Systems) is also being carried out at the Paul-Scheerer-Institut Villigen in Switzerland (Fig. , at Clatterbridge (United Kingdom), and Louvainla-Neuve (Belgium) (Vynckier et al. 1984). The high degree of physical selectivity of the proton beams has also been exploited for other localizations such as paraspinal tumors, chordomas, or chondrosarcomas of the base of the skull (Austin-Seymour et al.
In typical cases, such as seminomas or lymphomas, where the dose prescribed to the target volume lies below the tolerance dose, irradiation of a few additional cubic centimeters of normal tissue 27 New Trends in Radiation Therapy is of little clinical importance (in chemotherapy, there is obviously no physical selectivity at all, and the therapeutic gain depends only on biological selectivity). By contrast, when the differences in radiosensitivity are reduced, as observed with highLET radiation, the therapeutic efficiency rests mainly on a high level of physical selectivity; sparing a few cubic centimeters of normal tissues then becomes of real importance.
