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.
