ASCO’s [American Society of Clinical Oncology] independent assessment of the most significant clinical cancer research of the past year—Clinical Cancer Advances 2008: Major Research Advances in Cancer Treatment, Prevention, and Screening—is now available online.
The report can be accessed on Cancer.Net, or read in its entirely in the Dec. 22 online issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO). “This report shows we are making important progress in preventing, detecting and treating cancer,” Richard Schilsky, MD, ASCO President, said. “Each of the studies represents new hope for people with cancer and those who care for them.”
Clinical Cancer Advances was developed under the guidance of a 21-person editorial board made up of leading oncologists, including specialty editors for each of the disease- and issue-specific sections. They identified the following 12 advances, arranged by six categories of research, as the most significant in clinical cancer research this year (Note: The advances in the report are not ranked and their order is not significant.
