ABSTRACT
In cancer management, both surgery and radiotherapy are essentially
local treatments directed at the primary tumour and any loco-
regional disease. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment and can
treat distant metastases. In the majority of cancers, chemotherapy
is used to improve the prognosis and curative only in minority of
cancers. It is known that, chemotherapy is curative in lymphomas,
leukaemias, testicular cancers and in choriocarcinoma.
