In 1950, a diagnosis of cancer was all but a death sentence. Mortality rates only got worse, and as late as 1986, an article in the New England Journal of Medicine lamented: “We are losing the war against cancer.” Cancer is one of humankind's oldest and most persistent enemies; it has been called the existential disease. But we are now entering a new, and more positive, phase in this long campaign. While cancer has not been cured—and a cure may elude us for a long time yet—there has been a revolution in our understanding of its nature. Years of brilliant science have revealed how this individualistic disease seizes control of the foundations of life—our genes—and produces guerrilla cells that can attack and elude treatments. Armed with those insights, scientists have been developing more effective weapons and producing better outcomes for patients. Paul A. Marks, MD, has been a leader in these efforts to finally control this devastating disease. Marks helped establish the strategy for the “war on cancer” in 1971 as a researcher and member of President Nixon's cancer panel. As the president and chief executive officer for nineteen years at the world's pre-eminent cancer hospital, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, he was instrumental in ending the years of futility. He also developed better therapies that promise a new era of cancer containment. Some cancers, like childhood leukemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, that were once deadly conditions, are now survivable—even curable. New steps in prevention and early diagnosis are giving patients even more hope. On the Cancer Frontier is Marks' account of the transformation in our understanding of cancer and why there is growing optimism in our ability to stop it.

Advances in cancer research over the recent decades have been plentiful and often successful, with 5 year survival rates increasing almost uniformly across the board. The advent of new technologies has presented solutions for yesterday’s barriers to research, allowing us to leap forward in our ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat various cancers. Developments in omics studies has provided new insights into the underlying molecular basis of different cancers and their subtypes, greatly enhancing our understanding of the vast heterogeneity that exists. Progress in our ability to diagnose and detect early-stage cancers has resulted in numerous screening and prevention programs. Novel imaging technologies allow us to study and comprehend cancers with greater clarity than ever before. Although the field, as a whole, has experienced many successes, arduous challenges must be overcome in order to see continued success. The truth of the matter is cancer related deaths continue to rise in number worldwide, especially in lower- and middle-income countries. It is evident that there is still a lot of work to be done. This Frontiers in Oncology Special Issue marks the 1st edition of a collection of selected articles published in the journal over the course of the previous calendar year, highlighting ongoing research and advances being carried out in the different disciplines of cancer research.

Foreword from the Field Chief Editor, Giuseppe Giaccone Once again Frontiers in Oncology has started the year on a positive note, breaking previous records for submissions and publications, as well as the number of Research Topic article collections posted. The journal continues to grow in size, adding an 18th section focusing on Cancer Metabolism, led by Michael Lisanti and Ubaldo Martinez-Outschoorn, and has brought on a total of five new Chief Editors. Here, introducing Frontiers in Oncology: Quarterly Highlights, we feature a collection of carefully selected articles published during the first quarter of 2019 across the different sections. With a record number of papers to choose from, the papers enclosed in this Special Edition highlight some of the recent advances across the different disciplines. With an array of papers looking at everything from translational research to association studies and clinical trial results, Frontiers in Oncology continues to publish high-quality research from researchers around the world. Many of the recently posted Research Topics in the journal focus on early diagnosis and prevention, as well as the importance of survivorship studies and outcomes of cancer treatment. Consideration of such aspects of cancer research and treatment is pivotal in the global effort towards increased survival rates and improved quality of life. With ASCO 2019 marking the end of Q1 and the transition into Q2, the journal looks forward to the rest of the year, and continuing to play an active role in the research community. Giuseppe Giaccone
