ISBN: 975-859-361-7

Cancer is undoubtedly an area where physician-patient relationships are particularly challenged. Scientific advancements have brought new perspectives and diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities to the cancer problem, which until recently seemed to have distant solutions. However, the intense research conducted in this field and the testing of new drugs in laboratory conditions on animals and in clinical trials present scientists and physicians with new challenges they must address.

The TÜBA Cancer Working Group addressed this issue from different aspects in a meeting titled "Cancer and Ethics." The papers presented at the meeting and the subsequent discussions provided us with new perspectives and delivered new knowledge. Undoubtedly, the publication of these paper texts will enrich our scientific life with new insights.
