ABSTRACT
The program for cancer control of WHO was developed using collective experience gained in many countries, the USSR included. Soviet oncologists benefit from their cooperation with WHO and its expertise. The paper discusses certain aspects of their participation in WHO activities.

The results of clinical and roentgen-morphological studies on 17 cases of multipotent primary sarcoma of the bone are presented. The difficulties of the tumor recognition are due to the fact that it occurs rarely, has no specific clinical-roentgenological picture and shows marked tissue polymorphism. Most frequent are differentiations of the type of osteogenic sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, reticulosarcoma with simultaneous combination with areas having the structure of Ewing's tumor, or extensive fields of undifferentiated primitive tumor cells. Further studies are necessary to decide whether or not this tumor is an independent form among other known skeletal neoplasias.

The article sets forth clinico-anatomical characteristics of Burkkit's lymphoma (50 observations). The investigation was carried out in the granted hospital in Kenya, were the authors had worked from 1967 to 1971. A histological feature of the tumour was a peculiar picture of the "starry sky", which was associated with the presence of large histiocytesmacrophages among prolypherating lymphoid cells, a cytological feature being the availability of vacuoles in the nucleus and cytoplasma. In the majority of cases Burkkit's tumour had multicentrical growth, most often localizations were jaws and ovaries. The authors observed in some cases considerable therapeutic effect of chemical preparations.
