Paolo Tarantino: The Challenges Faced by Letters to the Editor
Paolo Tarantino, 2025 Yvonne’s “Top Voice” Award Winner, Associate Editor for Breast Cancer at ESMO Open, shared a post on X:
“Great read by Amol Akhade, highlighting the challenges faced by letters to the editor, which have progressively lost appeal and impact. Their lost space has been filled by social media, which – despite far from perfect – enable speed, interaction and spread.
What the Death of Letters to the Editor Means for Oncology.”
Amol Akhade, Senior Consultant at Fortis Hospitals Mumbai, shared a post on Paolo Tarantino, adding:
“Thanks Paolo Tarantino for Highlighting this. Even though social media ( X and LinkedIn) is slowly taking central stage as far as scientific discussion ( during conference, post major trial publications ) , letter to editor ( LTE ) still retains its “special ” position in the ” heart ” of oncology community.
I hope this article will make editors of the journals bit more kind towards LTE.”
