Some highlights include:

A “scientific overview and perspectives” section (~65 pages) that presents biological topics such as tumor angiogenesis and investigations into how agents like tamoxifen affect insulin‑like growth factor levels, possibly illuminating mechanisms behind efficacy in certain settings.
Cancer Network

Clinical trial data on breast cancer (node‑positive disease in premenopausal women, comparison of different regimens) which is a significant part of the volume.
Cancer Network

Sections on head & neck cancer, including studies of chemoradiation; lung cancer, gastrointestinal cancers, sarcoma/melanoma, etc. Many reports deal with phase II / III trials, as well as meta‑analyses.
Cancer Network

Some discussion of limitations: e.g. how selection criteria in trials (for instance requiring negative surgical margins) can bias results; also the “state of the art” as of 1993, which means some findings may have been preliminary or become outdated late
