Published six times per year, CA is the most widely circulated oncology journal in the world, with a circulation of approximately 84,000, including primary care physicians; medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists; nurses; other health care and public health professionals; and students in various health care fields. Although CA is an oncology journal, it is not a journal only for oncologists. It reaches a very wide and diverse group of professionals, and provides an unparalleled opportunity to present information to these professionals about cancer prevention, early detection, treatment of all forms, palliation, advocacy issues, quality-of-life topics, and more.

Impact Factor

The most-recent 2008 ISI Journal Citation Report showed that CA is #1 in the oncology category.
