JAMA is the American Medical Association's flagship journal. It is strong on cancer screening, prevention, health-services and patient-reported-outcome research, and on the USPSTF recommendations.
JAMA is a weekly general-medicine journal. In oncology it carries screening and prevention trials, the US Preventive Services Task Force recommendation statements, health-policy and drug-pricing analyses, and landmark care-delivery studies such as Basch's 2017 electronic symptom-monitoring survival result. Hybrid access; research articles are free to read after 12 months.

This is the validation study behind the July 2026 FDA approval of SimpleScreen CRC. For someone who will not take a stool test or colonoscopy it offers a real option for catching cancer, but because it misses most advanced polyps it prevents fewer cancers than the established tests, and a positive result still needs a colonoscopy.

Blinatumomab consolidation is a safer bridge to transplant for children with higher-risk relapsed B-ALL and improved survival; it is the basis for using blinatumomab in place of chemotherapy blocks after relapse.
The document that defines who is offered a scan in the United States, and therefore the document any argument about the screening eligibility gap has to engage with. Eligibility is still defined by pack-years and years since quitting rather than by an individual risk estimate.
Screening from 45 is now standard in the United States and has been adopted or debated elsewhere; it is the main policy response to early-onset colorectal cancer.

Family history misses most carriers, so the NCCN and ASCO guidelines moved to testing every patient; each carrier found is a family that can be offered surveillance and a patient who may be eligible for platinum and PARP inhibition.
The current shape of the screening question in the United States, and the best short statement of the trade-off in numbers a man can weigh. The three-to-one ratio between metastatic cases prevented and deaths prevented is also the argument for using metastatic presentation, not mortality, to judge a screening programme sooner.
Routinely asking patients how they feel between visits, and acting on the answers, is a treatment in itself. It catches problems early, keeps people on effective therapy longer and appears to extend life. Cancer centres now build symptom monitoring into electronic records, though implementation is uneven.
The negative counterweight to FIRE-3. The two trials are reconciled only by primary tumour side, which is why the sidedness analysis rather than either trial is what guidelines now cite.

Scalp cooling works, especially for taxane-based regimens, and is safe. The question moved from whether to how to make it available: device time in the chemotherapy chair, staff training, and who pays.

Patients with a limited number of brain metastases are treated with radiosurgery alone and surveillance, accepting more new brain lesions in return for preserved cognition.
Systemic chemotherapy is the backbone for locally advanced pancreatic cancer; consolidation chemoradiotherapy is an option to control local symptoms or as a bridge to surgery rather than a survival treatment.

It is the study that made multiplex testing standard practice in lung adenocarcinoma, by showing both that most tumours have a driver and that finding it changes what patients receive.
Adjuvant chemotherapy is standard after pancreatic cancer resection; gemcitabine alone remains the option for patients who cannot tolerate combinations.

It is the evidence behind universal mismatch repair testing of every colorectal cancer, which is now standard in most guidelines and which, as a by-product, identifies everyone eligible for immunotherapy.
Three years of adjuvant imatinib is standard for high-risk resected GIST with imatinib-sensitive mutations; longer courses are being tested.
A negative screening trial that saved a generation from a useless test, and the reason low-dose computed tomography had to be proved separately rather than assumed to work because it saw more.
Either regimen was acceptable adjuvant therapy in 2010, with gemcitabine preferred for tolerability; combination regimens (ESPAC-4, PRODIGE 24) have since superseded both.

For women who carry a BRCA mutation, preventive removal of the ovaries and tubes saves lives, and preventive mastectomy almost eliminates breast cancer. These are the strongest prevention effects in oncology, which is why finding carriers before they develop cancer matters so much.

The paper that made race a biological as well as a social variable in triple-negative breast cancer, and the reason the US disparity is described as roughly twice the incidence in Black women; the UK POSH study later found a smaller but real excess.
