This monograph provides a state-of-the-art summary of lung cancer biology, staging and treatment by internationally recognized experts in biology, surgery, radiotherapy and medical oncology. The revolution in biologic advances is put into the perspective of applications for diagnosis and early detection. In addition the monograph illustrates how these advances are pertinent to pathology and treatment. For each stage of small cell and non-small cell lung cancers, the role of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy is examined. Future directions including the use of colony stimulating factors and intensive chemotherapy are also explained.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a need for informa tion, education and training in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are two main reasons why such an initiative was considered necessary. Firstly, the teaching of oncology requires a rigorously multidisciplinary approach which is difficult for the Univer sities to put into practice since their system is mainly disciplinary orientated. Secondly, the rate of technological development that impinges on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been so rapid that it is not an easy task for medical faculties to adapt their curricula flexibly. With its residential courses for organ pathologies and the seminars on new techniques (laser, monoclonal antibodies, imaging techniques etc.) or on the principal therapeutic controversies (conservative or mutilating surgery, primary or adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy alone or integrated), it is the ambition of the European School of Oncology to fill a cultural and scientific gap and, thereby, create a bridge between the University and Industry and between these two and daily medical practice. One of the more recent initiatives of ESO has been the institution of permanent study groups, also called task forces, where a limited number of leading experts are invited to meet once a year with the aim of defining the state of the art and possibly reaching a consensus on future developments in specific fields of oncology.
