Abstract
New possibilities for prevention and targeted medical treatment have resulted from the overwhelming progresses in cancer cell biology. Handling of enormous amounts of data with great velocity has made four dimensional radiotherapy possible. New techniques for creation of static and functional images of organs have improved the precision of localization of tumours. Accelerated and minimal invasive courses for patients along with better organization of surgical services will definitely improve outcomes of cancer surgery. Taken together these changes signify considerable improvements of the outlook for cancer patients in the coming decades.
