McMasters KM. Introducing: The Landmark Series. Ann Surg Oncol. 2020 Jan;27(1):1-2.

The Annals of Surgical Oncology, the journal of the Society of Surgical Oncology, has created The Landmark Article Series.

“The Landmark Series is designed to trace the origins of current multidisciplinary therapy for each type of solid tumor, and demonstrate the logical progression of clinical trials and other key evidence. It is meant to be an educational resource, for trainees and practicing cancer specialists alike, in the understanding of evidence-based cancer management. Practice-changing clinical trials and other key evidence that inform our current treatment guidelines will be summarized and reviewed. Expert authors will provide context and commentary to enhance the value to the reader.” (McMasters, p.1).
