A New Look for the News Section

This issue of the Journal marks the 15th anniversary of this iteration of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and it debuts a new look for the News section. Although the appearance is different, the News section will continue to provide analysis of the latest trends in cancer research, perspective on new research findings and political issues, and timely information on topics such as policy decisions, cancer treatment and prevention, and clinical trials.

On March 2, 1988, the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and Cancer Treatment Reports were combined into a twice-monthly, multidisciplinary journal of cancer research. "As the walls separating the traditional compartments of cancer research crumble, research findings of fundamental importance should appear in the broadest forum available," former Journal editor-in-chief Robert E. Wittes, M.D., wrote in the March 2, 1988, issue. (Wittes is now physician-in-chief at Memorial Hospital at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York.) The "new" Journal featured for the first time a News section that included articles on topics of broad interest to readers.

In the last 15 years, the Journal has had three editors-in-chief and four editorial offices and is now published by Oxford University Press. But the original vision for the Journal has remained the same. The same is true for the News section.

Our goal with the new format is to make the News section more user-friendly. For example, in this issue, we introduce a section called In Brief, which will feature highlights from our weekly online-only news section on JNCI Cancer Spectrum (http://jncicancerspectrum.oupjournals.org). We will continue to explore new features and topics to make the News section as useful and engaging as possible.
