JULY 2008

Frontiers of Cancer Care in Asia-Pacific Region

This special issue is devoted to collectively present the management of cancer care of the Asia-Pacific countries in a single issue of the biij.

It is the hope of the editors to promote:

• the identification of expertise for specialised treatments,
• the exchange of clinical treatment protocols,
• the collaborative development of clinical trials and/or translation research, and
• the sharing of clinical database, and ultimately clinical outcome.

Well-known radiation oncologists in their respective countries of the Asia-Pacific region will present their prospective on the historical, current state, and future technological and clinical development to address cancer care in their own countries in this special volume. Technological and clinical updates will also be presented to highlight advances in cancer care around the world.
