At the same time, in the course of reviewing the past year and planning for 2012, the journalists of ddn recently took a look at how much of our news coverage involves oncology, and we were stunned to learn that in the last two years, our cancer-related news stories have doubled. Today, cancer research dominates nearly every section of our newspaper and other news vehicles. From diagnostics to R&D and everything in between, cancer is clearly a hot topic.

 

That's why we decided to launch our latest news division, the ddn Cancer Research Portal, your gateway to the latest oncology news, trends and resources. Here, on this special website, you will have immediate access to all of our cancer- related coverage, as well as featured news and spotlights on some of the industry's oncology leaders and links to various companies, research centers and organizations dedicated to treating—or even curing—cancer.  

 

It's our hope that this news portal will serve as a bridge between you and the growing cancer community. In the months to come, we will be announcing special coverage that will shine a light on the various players in oncology research—from bench to bedside. Much like the ever-changing news, we expect the ddn Cancer Research Portal to exist as a living, breathing entity that alters in reaction to the most up-to-date announcements and trends.  

 

Whether you are a cancer researcher, a student pursuing the oncology field, a company engaged in the search for anti-cancer compounds, a member of government or just an interested party, we hope you enjoy this new resource, which you can access by visiting www.ddncancer.com. Thanks for reading.
