The 1969 Proceedings of the Plenary Session of the European Organization
for Research on Treatment of Cancer have been divided between two
volumes of a com- pletely different nature. Volume 29, Aseptic
Environments and Cancer Treatment, deals not only with the treatment of
all types of cancer but also with aplastic treatment of bone marrow and
certain other pathological conditions, such as immunological
insufficiency, bums etc. Hence the volume will be of interest not only
to carcinologists and haematologists but also to paediatricians,
surgical units, intensive-care units, hospital administrators and
architects and engineers who specialize in hospital design and
equipment. Volume 30, Advances in the Treatment of Acute (Blastic)
Leukemias, deals with a particular form of cancer and will have a more
restricted readership of carcinologists specializing in leukemia and all
haematologists. Paris, April 1970 GEORGES MATHE Contents Introduction.
