Since 1976, when the first volume in the Lung Biology in Health and Disease series appeared, many have been published on asthma. Actually, asthma has been the dominant topic among the 159 volumes published as of the time of this writing. The first volume related to asthma [Pathophysiology and Pharmacology of the Airways, edited by J. Nadel (1980)] presented what we knew up to that point. Then, in 1987, Drug Therapy for Asthma (edited by J. W. Jenne and S. Murphy) was published. Those who follow the history of the modern approach to asthma will recognize 1987 as the beginning of an extraordinary movement directed toward the conquest of asthma. Indeed, in the United States, public officials, basic and clinical researchers, and voluntary and professional organizations all united, with the goal of alleviating the suffering and the public health burden of this disease. Today there is a worldwide effort to learn more about and combat asthma. Have we been successful? In my opinion, yes! Certainly, the prevalence of this disease is very high, perhaps even increasing, at least in some parts of the world. But it is also true that many patients have their disease under control and are leading normal and productive lives. Just observe all the Olympic medalists who suffer from asthma!
