Petrivalsky; Rapant Day; Surgical Congress; October 2000 AB At present surgery in comparison with other medical fields does not fulfil our ambitions and we are not happy with this state.Surgery is not developing as fast as oncology, haematology, immunology and other branches, which are based on rapidlydeveloping molecular biology. Surgeons are aware of this situation and they do not want to lose. We want to play a part inthis new development without losing our position and distinctive surgical goals. To seek these new ways is a goal of thePetrivalsky - Rapant Day and we are proud that in our country we are one of the first who want to make this historicalchange. Therefore in this conference we include topics that should increase our knowledge of malignancies and influencetheir therapy according to the newest molecular-biological findings. ER
