At the time of the first edition of Principles of Cancer
Biotherapy in 1987, this book represented the first comprehensive
textbook on biological therapy. In 1991, when the second edition
was published, there was still some doubt on the part of many
oncologists and cancer researchers as to the therapeutic value of
these new approaches. By 2003 and the fourth edition, it was
generally agreed that biopharmaceuticals were producing major
opportunities for new cancer therapies. Cancer biotherapy has now
truly matured into the fourth modality of cancer treatment. This
fifth revised edition describes the tremendous progress that has
been made in recent years using biologicals in cancer
treatment.
This book summarizes an evolving science and a rapidly changing
medical practice in biotherapy. In this new millennium, it is now
possible to envision a much more diversified system of cancer
research and treatment that will afford greater opportunities for a
patient s personalized cancer treatment. This was first envisioned
in the 1987 initial edition of this textbook and is now a new and
popular approach to cancer treatment. Some forms of cancer
biotherapy use the strategy of tumor stabilization and control
through continued biological therapy, akin to the use of insulin in
the treatment of diabetes.
This textbook illustrates new methods of thinking and new
strategies for control of cancer. It is always difficult to move
from past dogma to future opportunity, but this fifth edition of
Principles of Cancer Biotherapy illustrates why it is so important
to the patients for researchers and clinicians to explore and
quickly apply these new opportunities in cancer biotherapy."
