Thus, there is still" verbal confusion" regarding terminology in this field, which impedes the statistical studies of those clinicians who wish to investigate the value of a specific mode of therapy (operation, radiation, cytotoxic drugs). Consequently, we have chosen to adopt the compromise classification of the "Unio Internationalis Contra Cancrum" (UICC).

This indicates the biological significance of this age period which represents the end of childhood and adolescence. We also see that certain tumor types show a predilection for the third and fourth decades and that the fifth and sixth decades, too, are preferred by certain kinds of tumors.
