Psycho-Oncology – Announcing the New Challenges to Psycho-Oncology Research Series
January 17, 2017
The Editors wish to announce the New Challenges to Psycho-Oncology Research Series for 2017. It will entail the publication of four invited Editorials by well known investigators to alert the field about exciting research opportunities in a particular emerging area. Each Editorial will be accompanied by a Commentary by an expert investigator. We hope that the journal will thereby stimulate new research initiatives by bringing a proactive approach to author-submitted research. The Series will begin with New Challenges in Precision Medicine Oncology and Targeted Therapies. The revolution in oncology of treatments based on molecular information has changed the basis on which diagnosis and treatment of cancer are determined. It behooves psycho-oncologists to be familiar with these changes and the psychosocial sequelae that accompany them. Concurrent the precision medicine evolution is the new Digital Age of Communication in which information about new cancer treatments is spread rapidly by internet, social media and, in some countries, by direct advertising to the public. How well do psycho-oncologists understand these dual social upheavals? How much attention are we giving to the consequences of heightened expectations? The Editorial is written by Dr. Daniel McFarland, both oncologist and psycho-oncologist, Dr. Jimmie Holland, psycho-oncologist and Ms. Liz Blackler, social worker. The Commentary, is written by Dr. Larry Norton, senior breast oncologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and internationally recognized medical oncologist.

Attention BPOS members! BPOS students pages need you!
What one piece of advice would you give to yourself when you were starting out on your career?
What do you know now that you wish you had known then?
BPOS student webpages are looking for volunteers to take part in short ‘interviews’ about their careers as either researcher or clinicians, or anyone else interested in sharing their experience for the benefit of BPOS students, for example patient representatives, those working in the charity, policy and health services sector.
Our students have said they would like to hear from a real range of people, so we would like to hear from you whatever your background or experience.
These interviews will be on-going and frequently updated on the student BPOS website.
We hope this will prove an interesting and useful resource for our student members. If you are interested or have any ideas about future content please contact jenny.harris@kcl.ac.uk or w.kent@chester.ac.uk
