Abstract Patients with malignant tumors of the endocrine system can be effectively treated by surgery, the 5 year survival rate varying between 30–90 per cent, depending on organ involvement. In the Federal Republic of Germany, 1 out every 5 persons dies as a result of malignancy. Less than 1 per cent of the total annual rate of such deaths relates to malignancies originating in the endocrine glands.
