JAMA Oncology

aka JAMA Oncol

JAMA Oncology is the JAMA Network's cancer journal, publishing phase 2 trials, secondary analyses of big trials, epidemiology, health policy and drug-pricing research.

JAMA Oncology has appeared monthly since 2015 and is strong on population-based and health-services research (the Global Burden of Disease cancer updates, cost and value analyses of new drugs, disparities), single-arm phase 2 studies, and pooled or secondary analyses of major randomised trials. Hybrid access; research articles free after 12 months. Sceptical editorial tone on surrogate endpoints and accelerated approvals.
