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general oncol ogy textbooks are generally out of date.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."
