Abstract
Laboratory research is often described as basic and clinical research, prognostic or empirical. In this address, the point is made that research may be clinical or laboratory. Good clinical research may give important biological answers. Breast cancer [therapeutic] clinical trials [human] are described in terms of their biological interpretation. [Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery are discussed.] A list of significant biological questions that need answering are presented.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
