We read almost daily of the great advances being made in treatment of
leukemia, other sarcoma, hormone-dependent carcinoma, etc, but what of
the hard-to-treat carcinoma of the viscera, such as the kidneys, colon,
liver, etc?  These carcinoma appear uniformly radiation-resistant, rather
impervious to chemotherapy, and all too metastatic.  

I suspect one of the best avenues being researched at present are the
monoclonal antibodies with toxic attachments.  Is there current work 
being done on visceral carcinoma?  Is any at the experimental or field
stage?  I'm particularly interested on current work with hypernephroma,
and would appreciate the pooled knowledge of the net.
