Clinical Oncology brings you a combination of high-quality original research, informative editorials and state-of-the-art reviews on all aspects of the clinical management of cancer patients and also key pre-clinical and translational oncology research.

With the increasing time pressure on clinicians, we work hard to make it as easy as possible for our Fellows and members to access the latest research in the journal with podcasts about high-profile articles that you can listen to when you're on the go.

You will also find a link to the journal in the top left panel of the MyRCR page in the box labelled Quick links.

Supporting our membership

Alongside publishing high-quality original research, reviews and editorials, Clinical Oncology is also intended to be an educational resource for our Fellows and members. In 2015 we launched Science in Focus – a series of editorials from leaders in their field providing succinct updates on areas of progress in scientific understanding and how these impact on the oncology community. Read the series so far to find out about new developments or refresh your knowledge in an area you’ve not reviewed in a while.

Are you involved in a research project?

We know that many of our Fellows and members are actively involved in research. Elsevier, our journal publishers, provide a range of resources to assist throughout your project. Visit the Elsevier Researcher Academy to view lectures and courses on the research process and how to make sure your paper gets noticed.

In addition, the Author hub provides a wealth of information for anyone who is looking to publish research.
