Preface to the International Edition
The Manual of Bedside Oncology was first published in 1983 as a concise guide to the bed-
side management of cancer patients. It was collaboration between Drs. Dennis Casciato
and Barry Lowitz who were the primary authors of all of the chapters. Because of its popu-
larity, a second edition was produced in 1988 with a change of name to Manual of Clinical
Oncology in order to more accurately reflect the content. Drs. Casciato and Lowitz contin-
ued to collaborate and edit editions 3 and 4, and with the increasing complexity of oncol-
ogy, began inviting experts in various areas to help with the writing of certain chapters.
Dr. Casciato was the sole editor of the fifth edition and then invited Dr. Mary Territo
to serve as associate editor on editions 6 and 7 in the area of hematologic malignancies.
Dr. Casciato began organizing the eighth edition, but when he realized he had a serious
illness and would not be able to proceed, he recruited Dr. Bartosz Chmielowski to serve
as coeditor with Dr. Territo. Dr. Chmielowski is on the faculty of the UCLA School of
Medicine and had contributed to editions 6 and 7 with his expertise in melanoma and
sarcomas and has a well-known broad-based knowledge and experience in solid tumors.
Over the years, the Manual has grown to encompass the developments and advances
in oncology that have occurred. For this eighth edition, we have tried to incorporate the
major achievements in immunotherapies, biologics, and targeted therapies that have been
developed. At the same time, we strive to continue the main goals that Dr. Casciato has had
for the Manual since its inception, to present a comprehensive, concise, and current refer-
ence for the treatment of cancer patients and to reaffirm the unique relationship between
the cancer patients and their doctors.
