Series Introduction The current volume, Filgrastim (r-metHuG-CSF) in Clinical Practice, is the fifth in the Basic and Clinical Oncology series. Many of the recent advances in oncology have resulted from close interaction between the basic scientist and the clinical researcher. The aim of this series will therefore be to focus on the advances in cancer research that illustrate the success of this relationship as demonstrated by new therapies and promising areas for scientific research. As editor of the series, my goal is to recruit volume editors who not only have established reputations based on their outstanding contributions to oncology, but alsó have an appreciation for the interface between the laboratory and the clinic. I envision state-of-the-art monographs on topics that are of a high level of current interest. Volumes in progress focus on cancer prevention and control, breast cancer, biological approaches to cancer treatment, gene therapy, clinical pharmacology, supportive care of the cancer patient, and biostatistics in clinical oncology. I anticipate that these volumes will provide a valuable contribution to the oncology literature. Bruce D. Cheson, M.D.
