## TL;DR

CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians has the highest impact factor of any journal, because it publishes the annual US and global cancer statistics that almost every cancer paper cites.

## Summary

Bimonthly review journal of the American Cancer Society. Publishes 'Cancer Statistics' (US) and 'Global Cancer Statistics' each year, the ACS screening guidelines, and long-form reviews on treatment and survivorship written for practising clinicians. Articles are free to read online. Its extreme impact factor reflects a small number of extremely cited statistical reports rather than a broad research programme.
