​The American Cancer Society launched a new series in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians called the American Cancer Society Research Award Spotlight, which will highlight ACS-sponsored investigators across the United States. The first paper from the series, published on Jan. 9, highlights a study about the underrepresentation of Hispanic women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine. An accompanying introductory editorial written by CA Editor-in-Chief Don Dizon, MD, and Christina Annunziata, MD, PhD, a member of CA’s ACS Advisory Council, introduced the new series. 

​As the flagship journal of the American Cancer Society, CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians reaches a diverse group of oncology specialists, primary care clinicians, and other professionals who interact with patients with cancer. All content published in CA is free to access without a subscription.

Each year, the ACS extends support to investigators at institutions across the United States as part of its grants program, funding research for high school interns through world-renowned professors, including the ACS Professorship.
