When we first envisioned The MD Anderson Manualof Medical Oncology, we hoped that it would fill animportant void in oncology reference material by servingas a hands-on resource for the practicing oncologist.The first edition, published in 2006, was writtenexclusively by our faculty and fellows with the idea ofgiving a bird’s-eye view of how multidisciplinary carewas practiced at our institution. We were proud of thatinitial effort and pleased that the book received positivereviews from several high-impact journals, includingJAMA, The Lancet, and The New England Journal ofMedicine.The new edition of The MD Anderson Manualof Medical Oncology contains new chapters on cordblood transplant, haploidentical stem cell transplantation,cellular therapy in allogeneic hematopoieticcell transplantation, pediatric cancers, molecularbiomarkers and cancer, immuno-oncology, targetedtherapies in cancer, applied biostatistics, oncocardiology,pulmonary complications of cancer therapy,and cancer-associated thrombosis. In addition, thereis expanded coverage of the rapidly growing areas ofbiological and immune therapies of cancer, with onechapter co-authored by our very own Nobel Laureate,Jim Allison.The new edition of The MD Anderson Manual ofMedical Oncology will also be a continually updatedversion of the book, online, with the latest science andclinical recommendations from the world-renownedclinical investigators at MD Anderson.We hope that this edition serves to help oncologistseverywhere provide high-quality, state-of-the-art cancercare to their patients.
