I would like to thank the ESMO Publishing Working Group for supporting the realisation of this book, where each chapter was prepared by a senior and one or more junior oncologists.
I would like to thank Luca Gianni, with whom we shared the idea of the book and the definition of its content, and Josep Tabernero and his team, with whom I discussed the structure of the chapters and who finalised the first one.
Above all, I would like to thank the friends who were authors, reviewers, and tutors and made the book reality.
