Holiday greetings from the NCI Cancer Bulletin Team

 

December 21, 2012 Dear NCI Cancer Bulletin Subscribers, The staff of the NCI Cancer Bulletin would like to wish each of you a joyous holiday season and a healthy and happy new year. Next month, we will begin our tenth year of bringing you news about cancer research, whether supported by NCI or other institutions from across the nation and the world. All of our content can be accessed through our archive/search page. As we do every year, we have compiled a list of feature stories published over the past year that we think are worth another look. We chose these in-depth articles not only because of their popularity with readers, but also for their potential impact on clinical practice and/or their value as important but underreported topics.
