I received this in the advocates email chain at ASCO. It's actually a very interesting read with some great information.
"We invite you to browse Clinical Cancer Advances 2015: ASCO's Annual Report on Progress Against Cancer . Now in its 10th year, the report documents the important progress being made in clinical cancer research, as well as emerging trends in the field. As a whole, Clinical Cancer Advances attests to the current state of the science and envisions future directions of cancer research. And, for the first time as part of the 2015 report, ASCO has named the "Advance of the Year," an area of clinical cancer research that stands out from the rest.
The report also features:
• The top cancer research advances of the past year - Identifying major trends in cancer prevention and screening, treatment, quality of life, survivorship, and tumor biology
• A Decade in Review - Recounting the most remarkable improvements in cancer care since the first issue of Clinical Cancer Advances
• The 10-Year Horizon - Previewing trends likely to shape the next decade of cancer care, including genomic technology, nanomedicine, and health information technologies, such as ASCO's CancerLinQ initiative
• Progress in Rare Cancers - Highlighting promising early achievements in treating certain uncommon but devastating childhood and adult cancers
Clinical Cancer Advances is developed under the guidance of prominent oncologists with expertise in a wide range of subspecialties, and we hope that its unique perspective will serve as a useful tool in your advocacy efforts on behalf of people with cancer. You will soon receive a print copy of the report in the mail, but in the meantime, you can read it online today at CancerProgress.Net/CCA.
Best Regards,
