Where do you begin to look for a recent, authoritative article on
the diagnosis or management of a particular malignancy? The few
general onco logy textbooks are generally out of date.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 indepth reviews of cancer topics, and published sympo
sium 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 divid ing 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."
, 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
