The Oncology Group of UBM Medica, publisher of ONCOLOGY, ONCOLOGY Nurse Edition, and Oncology NEWS International, and the website, cancernetwork.com, is pleased to present Cancer Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach, 13th edition.
Cancer Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach is designed to present important clinical information concisely, uniformly, and logically, emphasizing the natural history of the malignancy, screening and diagnosis, staging and prognosis, and treatment.
The fundamental principle behind this comprehensive treatment guide is the importance of a truly integrated, multidisciplinary approach to the management of the patient with cancer. Accordingly, the discussion of each disease site combines the perspectives of medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology, as appropriate. Further, each of the book’s medical editors represents a particular discipline.
The Oncology Group would like to thank the contributors and all involved in the development and production of this important handbook. In particular, we thank the book’s principal editors:

US Food and Drug Administration
Lawrence D. Wagman, MD (Surgical Oncology)

National Cancer Institute
William J. Hoskins, MD (Gynecologic Oncology)
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
We also thank the staff of The Oncology Group and in particular wish to recognize the efforts of Angela Cibuls, Susan Reckling, and Marie Best.
