Diana Romero summarizing Nature Reviews: Clinical Oncology’s 20th anniversary issue

Diana Romero, Chief Editor of Nature Reviews Clinical Oncology, shared on LinkedIn:

“Our 20th anniversary issue has been live for a couple of weeks and I finally get around to sharing it!

To celebrate such a special occasion:

– We asked a diverse group of experts about the main advances and challenges in their research area, and the result is a great summary of the current state of clinical oncology.

– What about patients, what is their view on all these advances? We invited Carolyn Taylor, a survivor and patient advocate who has done outreach work with a global remit to address this question for us. In this Comment, she makes a strong case for patient-centred research.

– We have reflected about the role of our journal in the active and multidisciplinary community of clinical oncologists.

– We have compiled these specially commissioned anniversary contents with the most popular articles that we have published each year of our trajectory in a Collection. You can find some freely available contents in the Collection!

– All this presented with a fantastic cover by Carl Conway.”
