    Summary: This volume presents the MD Anderson experience in providing care and services to the rapidly growing population of cancer survivors, which is currently estimated to be 12 million in the United States and more than 25 million worldwide. As cancer survival rates have increased, it has slowly become clear that the challenges faced by people with cancer do not end with treatment but simply change. This book aims to assist community oncologists, physicians, and their staff, who care for the vast majority of cancer survivors, by disseminating models of surveillance for disease recurrence, screening for second primary cancers, education regarding potential late effects of treatment, and psychosocial counseling. These models have proven valuable to cancer survivors who receive care at MD Anderson.

    Damage to the permeability of red blood cells to Na+ and K+ caused by irradiation with fast neutrons or X-rays was investigated at different post-irradiation incubation temperatures. The extent of Na+ uptake and K+ loss by the cells after either radiation was higher at 4 degrees C than at 37 degrees C, but the extent of 'repair' of the damage caused by fast neutrons was lower than that caused by X-rays. The latter 'repair' was promoted by the addition of ghosts, but the former was not. On the other hand neither 'repair' process was influenced by haemolysates from which ghosts had been removed.
