Article Title: | Long‐term effects of initial therapy |
Abstract: | The long term effects of initial therapy are a combined consequence of the effects of treatment on the cancer and on the host. Local tumor control, whatever its impact on the occurrence of metastasis, is an achievable and worthwhile goal of therapy and the methods for attaining it may have significantly different effects on quality of life. These considerations are grossly illustrated for renal cell, bladder and prostatic cancers. Copyright © 1987 American Cancer Society |
