Three weeks ago Pamir Atagunduz, the Chief Editor of
Marmara Medical Journal, talked to me about his plans for
the Journal in the upcoming years with great excitement
and enthusiasm. I felt honored when he asked if I would
be interested in becoming the invited editor for the first of
the “Special Issue” series of Marmara Medical Journal. The
same day I started to plan how to accomplish an oncology
issue in a very short period of time. When I called Esra
Saglam, asking for a review due in 3 weeks, not only she
said yes, but also encouraged me with her great ideas. Here,
I would especially thank to all of the authors in this issue for
writing these manuscripts despite their very busy schedule.
Also, I owe special thanks to Bruce Minsky for his positive
approach in contributing to our Journal.
In addition to the current information regarding positive
interaction between immunotherapy and radiotherapy you
will find the latest developments on treatment of various
cancers in this “Special Issue - Oncology “.
