Effective immediately, readers of Oncology NEWS International will notice a more functional and more appealing format that showcases broader coverage and better represents the readers in the oncology and hematology community.
According to editorial director John Hayes, "The new design caps a series of changes we've been making to Oncology NEWS International, all of them intended to keep our readers engaged and better informed about important developments in the cancer care community. We've preserved the best elements of our past coverage, particularly clinical trial and study coverage from meetings and a section devoted to policy and practice, but at the same time we have expanded our approach to include a more issue-oriented look at the clinical and economic forces that are driving the advancement of hematology and oncology. "
Steven Rosen, MD, Professor and Director of the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University, serves as the new Editor-in-Chief. "Oncology NEWS International provides the practicing oncologist and hematologist with the latest discoveries that will affect the management of our patients. Cancer is a global issue and creating a worldwide dialogue is a critical goal for the publication," says Dr. Rosen, who, along with editorial director John Hayes, has introduced several new features to the publication.
Each month, readers can look forward to:
-- A monthly point-counterpoint feature that examines a topical clinical controversy in cancer care.
-- A monthly profile -- Masters of Hematology and Oncology -- that explores the lives of those who have contributed significantly to the field.
-- A greater focus on international developments in hematology and oncology.
-- More analysis and perspective that explains the topical events in hematology and oncology.
-- More attention to the people who are helping shape the practice of hematology and oncology.
All of these changes serve to position Oncology NEWS International as a leader in bringing oncologists and hematologists global perspectives and analyses of developments in cancer care.
