Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diag nosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few
general oncology textbooks are generally out of date. Single papers
in specialized journals are informative but seldom comprehensive;
these are more often preliminary reports on a very limited number
of patients. Certain general journals fre quently publish good
in-depth reviews of cancer topics, and published sym posium
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
which 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 di viding the oncology literature into
specific subdivisions such as lung cancer, genitourinary cancer,
pediatric oncology, etc. Second, by asking eminent 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."
