METASTASIS
PREFACE
The Metastasis Group of the European Organization for
Research on Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) held an International
Meeting at the Royal Institution in London on April 2lst-23rd,
1980. The subject was "Clinical and Experimental Aspects of
Metastasis" and these Proceedings are the record of that
Meeting.
Almost all of those who presented a paper or a poster
have written up their contributions as chapters of the
Proceedings and we have made no distinction here between
posters and oral communications. The Organizers and Editors
owe a considerable debt of gratitude to all the contributors
who without exception presented the results of their work in
a clear and concise manner that did much to reveal the essence
of the complex problems central to current thinking on met
astasis. Moreover most manuscripts arrived well within the
deadline - a circumstance which in our experience is unusual.
Of the large audience who attended the Meeting many had
come from the far distant corners of the World and to them as
well as to the presenters of papers the Organizers wish to
express their deep appreciation.
The Organizers would also like to express their indebted
ness to the organizations whose financial contribution made
this EORTC Metastasis Group Meeting possible and a list of
them follows.
VI
The keen interest which was shown in the Meeting has led
many to ask about future meetings and these it is hoped can be
arranged before long, though the framework within which this
will take place remains to be settled.
