Abstract
Anniversaries offer an opportune time for reflecting on what has come before and thinking about what lies ahead. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and this issue heralds the beginning of the 21st year of publication of the Journal of Clinical Oncology (JCO). In looking back, we are all encouraged by the many outstanding accomplishments of the Society and its journal that have paved the way for the future. From its inception, the strength of the JCO has been the strength of the ASCO membership—a global body of committed physicians dedicated to cancer research and patient treatment. The journal has published many seminal papers in our field; the most highly cited include clinical guidelines and reviews. These papers—together with the contributions of Editors Emeriti Joseph R. Bertino and George P. Canellos, numerous Associate Editors, and hundreds of volunteer Editorial Board members— have established JCO as one of the most highly regarded benefits of ASCO membership and as one of the highly respected medical journals in the world. JCO’s content is noteworthy, and support for the journal’s quality continues as the highest priority for ASCO. In turn, JCO revenues are a major contributor of funds to other ASCO programs. For many years, ASCO worked with a commercial publisher to support the JCO editors and the JCO program, which thrived as a scholarly publication.
