In northern hemispheres, October heralds the onset of autumn and we are reminded that its cool breezes will soon blow wintry as 1996 draws to a close. Tempus fugit! The swift passage of time also reminds us that the first volume of The Oncologist will soon conclude with its sixth issue in December.
However, before 1996 becomes history, let’s pause and reflect on the pledges we made to our readership at the beginning of the year. The Founding Editors conceived the Journal to provide authoritative, topical, innovative articles in an attractive format for a very special reader: the busy, practicing physician who cares for cancer patients.

Description: Ganetespib (also known as STA-9090) is a potent small-molecule inhibitor of heat shock protein 90 (IC50=4 nM). It binds to the ATP pocket in the N-terminus of Hsp90, resulting in down-regulation of Hsp90 client protein levels. Being structurally unrelated to geldanamycin-derived Hsp90 inhibitors (17-AAG, 17-DMAG, and IPI-504), ganetespib has a unique triazolone-containing chemical structure and stands out other Hsp90 inhibitors in terms of potency, antitumor activity, and safety profile. |

Our commitment is to critically review and publish papers designed to interpret the vast amounts of data available to physicians. As the famed radiotherapist and Founding Editor, Eli Glatstein, summarized, “The Oncologist emphasizes the interpretation rather than the data.” The Oncologist to date has published more than forty manuscripts from international authorities. The inaugural issue featured, among other highly acclaimed papers, “Locally Advanced Breast Cancer,” by Valero, Buzdar and Hortobagyi, and David Kuter’s “Thrombopoietin:
Biology and Clinical Applications.” Fidias, Chabner and Grossbard contributed “Purine Analogs for the Treatment of Low-Grade Lymphoproliferative Disorders” in the next issue, and Pavletic and Armitage proffered an update on “Bone Marrow Transplantation for Cancer.” Issue 4 highlighted Jemi Olak and Arthur Ng’s “Diagnosis and Management of Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer,” as well as “Multimodality Therapy for Esophageal Cancer” by Siewert, Stein and Fink. In this current issue, “Dose Intensity of Chemotherapy for Childhood Cancers,” by Smith, Abrams, Trimble and Ungerleider, and “Surgical Sphincter Preservation in Rectal Cancer” by Peter M.
Schlag present contemporary and authoritative views of two important clinical topics which also document the Journal’s intent to discuss both adult and pediatric cancer care. Our Meet The Professor section is fast becoming a popular feature which attracts comments from readers and responses from the author professor.
We call your attention to Professor Barrie R. Cassileth’s fascinating article, “Alternative and Complementary Cancer Treatments,” and her commentary in this issue.
The Physician Education section has presented hematopoiesis through informative and beautifully illustrated papers with texts by distinguished hematologists and molecular biologists. In this issue, we feature the first Patient Care section, From The Bethesda Post, wherein clinical trials and experimental treatments are announced. In cooperation with The Cancer Letter, The Oncologist News Bulletin presents late-breaking news pertinent to the world’s cancer care community.
With this issue, we have instituted an addition to this section, featuring information from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on a study involving Ashkenazi Jewish women. We urge cancer centers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to avail themselves of this section by sending our editorial office your newsworthy reports. We hope that our readers are benefiting from the Journal and enjoying the art which has graced it. In order to assess how well we are fulfilling our pledges to our readership, we need to hear from you.
Tell us how we can make The Oncologist more relevant to your medical practice. We promise to share your comments with our Editorial Board to further enhance the Journal. In so doing, we will draw closer to fulfilling our pledge to you, our readers.
