The number of papers published that have relevance to cancer research seems to be growing exponentially. The more we understand about this complex disease, the more research enters new areas of molecular and cellular biology. As most readers of this journal are aware, we cover, on average, nine of the best papers from the cancer research literature per month in our Highlights section. However, as you might predict, there are many more than seven papers that we could highlight. To reflect more accurately the research that catches our eye we have decided to cover more papers online only.
We will shortly be launching a new web page called The Front Line on http://www.nature.com/reviews/cancer. As its name suggests, The Front Line is concerned with the latest developments in the war against cancer and will be regularly updated with short comments about published papers and other items that we feature in the journal, such as Trial watch and cancer research papers covered in the popular press (In the news). We will also use The Front Line to highlight papers from the biological, physical and chemical sciences that do not focus specifically on cancer, but that report findings and concepts that are important or might become important to current hot topics in cancer research.
