American Cancer Society Journals (ACS) shared a post on LinkedIn:
“We’re proud to announce the launch of Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer, a new open access journal from the American Cancer Society dedicated to advancing research and improving outcomes for children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer.
This international, multidisciplinary publication will serve as a platform for sharing discoveries across the field, from prevention and early detection to treatment and survivorship.
Nirali Shah, MD, MHSc, has been named inaugural Editor-in-Chief. A physician-scientist at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), she leads research focused on developing targeted immunotherapies for high-risk blood cancers in children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer.
“With rising rates of cancer in adolescents and young adults, the journal will provide an opportunity to address and broadly communicate some of the greatest challenges faced in cancer care by this vulnerable population,”
– said Dr. Shah, in a press release issued today by the ACS.
“With the foundation of the ACS, and through highlighting the latest and greatest in pediatric and AYA oncology, the journal is poised to bring forward meaningful change to enhance quality of care and improve outcomes for pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients.”
Submissions are now being accepted, with the first issue expected in late summer.
