Introduction Peter Harper T HE ARTICLES presented in this supplement to Seminars in Oncology are based on the proceedings from the Guy’s Hospital Interchange Meeting held in conjunction with the Eli Lilly and Company satellite symposium entitled “Standards and Innovation in Thoracic Cancer Management” which took place on November 16, 2002 during the “3rd European Conference: Perspectives in Lung Cancer” in Barcelona, Spain (November 15- 16, 2002). Leading international clinical investi- gators in the field of thoracic cancer covered a wide range of topics, including the gemcitabine (Gemzar; Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis, IN)/carboplatin combination in the treatment of non–small cell lung cancer, neoadjuvant com- bined modality strategies with gemcitabine and other agents in resectable non–small cell lung can- cer, targeted therapies in combination with gem- citabine in non–small cell lung cancer, antisense strategies targeting protein kinase C, pemetrexed (Alimta; Eli Lilly and Company) for malignant pleural mesothelioma, and the emerging role of pemetrexed and gemcitabine in non–small cell lung cancer. In addition to presenting trial data, the faculty presented information on clinical trends and the design of future trials with gemcitabine, pemetrexed, and combinations with other agents. Finally, an additional goal was to produce enduring material for investigators that did not attend the symposium to aid them in current and future study. Therefore, the material presented during the interchange meeting and contained in this volume is intended to be a thorough, objective, balanced presentation of clinical and basic research with gemcitabine, pemetrexed, and other new agents in the treatment of lung carcinoma. I hope that you, the reader, find the information to be stimulating, timely, and useful in patient management and the design of clinical trials. From the Guy’s & St. Thomas Hospital, London.

Leading international clinical investi-gators in the field of thoracic cancer covered awide range of topics, including the gemcitabine(Gemzar; Eli Lilly and Company, Indianapolis,IN)/carboplatin combination in the treatment ofnon–small cell lung cancer, neoadjuvant com-bined modality strategies with gemcitabine andother agents in resectable non–small cell lung can-cer, targeted therapies in combination with gem-citabine in non–small cell lung cancer, antisensestrategies targeting protein kinase C, pemetrexed(Alimta; Eli Lilly and Company) for malignantpleural mesothelioma, and the emerging role ofpemetrexed and gemcitabine in non–small celllung cancer. In addition to presenting trial data,

the faculty presented information on clinical trendsand the design of future trials with gemcitabine,pemetrexed, and combinations with other agents.Finally, an additional goal was to produce enduringmaterial for investigators that did not attend thesymposium to aid them in current and future study.

Therefore, the material presented during theinterchange meeting and contained in this volumeis intended to be a thorough, objective, balancedpresentation of clinical and basic research withgemcitabine, pemetrexed, and other new agents inthe treatment of lung carcinoma. I hope that you,the reader, find the information to be stimulating,timely, and useful in patient management and thedesign of clinical trials.
