, Adrenal and Endocrine Tumors in Children' is the third volume in
the series, 'Cancer Treatment and Research' devoted to pediatric
oncology. Like its predecessors, it is organized into two sections.
The first section again deals with issues of basic research germane
to the understanding of childhood malignancies. In volume 3, the
scope of the first section has been broadened to include a review
that is epidemiologically oriented and a second review that is
psychologically oriented. In the second part, major pediatric
oncology units in Japan, Australia, Europe and the Americas have
been invited to report their experience with of the multiple
endocrine adrenal cortical carcinomas and the presentation
neoplasia syndromes in children. In addition to these institutional
reports of case material, there are reviews on genetics, pathology,
and a diagnostic evaluation of children. The overview chapter on
adrenal cortical carcinoma includes recommendations for
radiotherapy from Dr. D' Angio and for che motherapy from Dr.
Philip Schein. Individuals using these recommended therapies are
encouraged to report their results to the editors. The informa tion
will then be made available to others on request. List of

Osteosarcoma in Adolescents and Young Adults: New Developments and
Controversies is the fifth volume in the series Cancer Treatment,
and Research' devoted to pediatric oncology. Like its immediate
predecessor, Hodgkin's Disease in Children: Controversies and
Current Practice, this volume also deals with the current state of
affairs: where do researchers differ in opinions or firmly held
beliefs? What does the future hold for research or for the patients
who have benefited from research and are now cured? etc. The first
part deals with preclinical and clinical issues that relate to the
disease and the second part deals with the results of recent trials
and in some cases ongoing trials. It could be argued that section B
Pharmacology, Section D Radiotherapy and Section E Surgery of part
one belong to part two; however in these sections we have tried to
focus on one discipline and in part two, we have tried to focus on
the results of multidisciplinary trials. A third part includes a
few critiques and editorial comments. This volume was prepared and
planned for both basic and clinical oncologists. It is hoped that
the basic scientists will gain some insight into the problems of
their clinical colleagues and that the clinicians will be willing
to read to the more basic articles. It is not a text for students
(or for that matter physicians) who want all things to be laid out
in black and white'. But it is a text for those students who want
to know how vibrant this field of research is and are willing to
stand in awe of how much research needs to be done.

Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diagnosis or management of particular malignancy? The few
general oncol ogy textbooks are generally out of date. Single
papers in specialized journals are informative but seldom
comprehensive; these are more often prelimin ary reports on a very
limited number of patients. Certain general journals frequently
publish good in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published
symposium lectures are often the best overviews available.
Unfortunately, these reviews and supplements appear sporadically,
and the reader can never be sure when a topic of special interest
will be covered. Cancer Treatment and Research is a series of
authoritative volumes that aim to meet this need. It is an attempt
to establish a critical mass of oncology literature covering
virtually all oncology topics, revised frequently to keep the
coverage up to date, easily available on a single library shelf or
by a single personal subscription. We have approached the problem
in the following fashion. First, by dividing the oncology
literature into specific subdivisions such as lung can cer,
genitourinary cancer, pediatric oncology, etc. Second, by asking
emin ent authorities in each of these areas to edit a volume on the
specific topic on an annual or biannual basis. Each topic and tumor
type is covered in a volume appearing frequently and predictably,
discussing current diagnosis, staging, markers, all forms of
treatment modalities, basic biology, and more."
