Durham, North Carolina

 

The purpose of the Society for Translational Oncology (STO), a

new treatments in the field of cancer medicine to the practice of global

oncology. STO brings knowledge and strategies for critical new
developments in

cancer treatment to the practice of the community oncologist.

 

To achieve that end, STO provides publications, meetings, and enduring

materials that serve to shorten the "translational gap" between
discovery

and delivery of care to the patient.

 

The Oncologist is the official journal of STO. A premier-tier,

care.
