Preface to the Second Edition
The role of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging in the diagnosis andtherapy of cancer patients is growing. The rapid pace of change has beenfueled by advances in understanding tumor biology, on the one hand, and thedevelopment of specifically targeted medical therapies, diagnostic agents, andradiotherapies, on the other. These advances suggested that an update andexpansion of the contents of Nuclear Oncology would be timely. The secondedition offers specialists in imaging, radiotherapy, cancer surgery, and oncol-ogy information that is current to manage patients with cancer.
There are three major changes in this edition: first, the text has beenexpanded to include more detailed information on performing specific pro-cedures (e.g., radioguided surgery); second, the number of clinical cases hasbeen increased to 170, to provide a broader range of examples, reflecting theclinical range of findings; and third, this edition will be available on Springer’selectronic platform, allowing authors to continuously update the content oftheir chapters.
The second edition is divided into seven parts:
Part 1 consists of 13 chapters of basic science. The first chapter describes ourunderstanding of cancer biology, including mechanisms of initiation ofcancer and key tumor pathways that are attacked by specific therapeuticagents. This is followed by a discusion of mechanisms of moleculartargeting and approved radiopharmaceuticals for single photon and posi-tron imaging as well as therapy. These chapters are mirrored by threechapters describing agents in development for diagnosis and therapy.Chapters on physics, instrumentation, and radiobiology complete thebasic science section.
Part 2 has 26 chapters that address the roles of imaging in the diagnosis andstaging in specific types of cancer. Each chapter starts with a review of theepidemiology of the cancer, followed by a description of the typical clinicalpresentation, criteria for staging, therapeutic alternatives, and monitoringthe effectiveness of treatment and suveillance following therapy.
vii
Part 3 has seven chapters that address radionuclide therapy for the treatment of:LymphomaMultiple myeloma and leukemiasThyroid cancerNeuroendocrine tumors, with separate chapters discussing the use ofMIBG
and peptide therapySkeletal metastasesTumors of the liver and biliary tree with radiolabeled particulates
Part 4 has four chapters on specific applications of radioguided surgery. Threechapters describe the instrumentation, radiopharmaceuticals, and clinicalgoals of radioguided surgery in patients with breast cancer, malignantmelanoma, and head and neck cancer. The last chapter of this section coversnovel applications of the technology.
Part 5 describes the detection and management of heart disease in the cancerpatient.
Part 6 presents adverse effects of cancer therapy.Part 7 consists of 25 chapters of cases. These chapters of cases supplement the
case examples illustrating specific points in each of the clinical chapters.
The text has a detailed index, which will help readers locate the informationthey seek to care for their patients.
We would like feedback from our readers about the text. Please addressyour comments to the editors.

viii Preface to the Second Edition
Preface to the First Edition
Cancer is a disease that was first described over 3500 years ago. While thedesignation cancer was coined by Hippocrates centuries later, descriptions ofindividual patients with the disease are found in Egyptian papyri dating from1600 BCE [1]. Two papyri, the Edwin Smith papyrus (circa 1600 BCE) and theGeorge Ebers papyrus (circa 1500 BCE), contain case descriptions consistentwith modern observations of patients with cancer [2]. Hippocrates, in the fifthcentury BCE, suggested there was no cure for these maladies. Clinical obser-vations and laboratory studies in the intervening 2500 years have led to a betterunderstanding of the pathophysiology of cancer and the realization that thedisease can be effectively treated.
There are four phases of most common malignant tumors: (1) Multiplegenetic alterations lead to a cell losing control of cell division, apoptosis, andDNA repair, resulting in a malignant change, commonly referred to as trans-formation. (2) The transformed cells are genetically programmed to grow.(3) The proliferating transformed cells invade surrounding local tissues.(4) Some of the transformed cells depart from the local tumor mass andcolonize a distant site, resulting in distant metastases [3].
Our current understanding of the pathophysiology of neoplasia has pro-vided specific information on the numerous genetic changes in the transformedcell and on the impact of these changes on protein production by the trans-formed genome. Altered protein production may lead to an increase ordecrease in the expression of receptors, production of unique epitopes on thecell surface, and changes in substrate utilization by the transformed cells.
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of specific neoplasms has led tothe development of novel therapies, addressing specific control points in thelife cycle of the transformed cell, and defined the need for detailed staging andcharacterization of the tumor, to develop a plan of treatment for the patient.This textbook provides the reader with information on the role of nuclearmedicine in the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of patients with specificcancers. Each chapter provides material on the incidence, main pathophysio-logic and clinical aspects of the disease, staging, and management of specifictumors, with a major focus on the points to be addressed by the nuclearmedicine procedures.
The book is composed of seven parts: Basic science is covered inChaps. 1–6: The first chapter reviews fundamental aspects of the biology ofcancer and the tumor mass. The next two chapters describe the chemistry and
ix
radio pharmacy for manufacturing single photon and positron emitting radio-pharmaceuticals. The next three chapters deal with the physics of radionuclidedecay, principles of instrumentation, followed by radiobiology and dosimetry.Clinical applications are covered in Chaps. 7–25. Radionuclide therapy iscovered in Chaps. 26 and 27, and radioguided surgery is discussed inChap. 28. Heart disease in the cancer patient is covered in Chap. 29, andadverse effects of cancer therapy in Chap. 30. In Part VII, Teaching Cases, thebook concludes with a series of cases.
Each clinical chapter discusses the radionuclide procedures within anintegrated framework identifying the information required for effective treat-ment of that specific tumor. The first part of each chapter provides a descriptionof the epidemiology, etiology, histologic and pathophysiologic classification,prognosis, treatment, and the most common outcome for each type of cancer.This information on basic/clinical oncology is essential for the nuclear med-icine specialist to understand how radionuclide imaging and therapy should beintegrated with other imaging/therapeutic modalities to the benefit of thecancer patient. These discussions also highlight elements that should becontained in the report of the nuclear imaging procedure(s): depending onthe type of cancer and the specific goal of imaging (initial staging, evaluationof response to therapy, or surveillance for recurrence), the Impression sectionof the report should clearly answer the clinical question.

He has been a Visiting Scientist at the National Cancer Institute inBethesda (Maryland, USA) from 1975 to 1977 and a Visiting Professor at theHarvard Medical School in Boston (Massachusetts, USA) from 1986 to 1990.
Initial investigations carried out at the CNR Institute of Clinical Physiologyand at the University of Pisa (Pisa, Italy) dealt with the pharmacokinetics ofradiolabeled tracers for metabolic studies of endogenous proteins and hor-mones in various clinical conditions. In the subsequent studies, the interests ofGiuliano Mariani have broadened to encompass virtually all fields of NuclearMedicine for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Nevertheless, hismain research interests have focused on tumor targeting for diagnosis ortherapy with radiopharmaceuticals; he has been the Senior or Principal Inves-tigator on many research projects, several of which were international collab-orations. Thanks to his important contributions to the whole field of NuclearMedicine, in 2014 GiulianoMariani has been granted honorary membership inthe European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM), while the ItalianAssociation of Nuclear Medicine (AIMN) bestowed to him the same recogni-tion in 2017. He is a member of the Society of Nuclear Medicine andMolecular Imaging (SNMMI).
