Despite the major efforts made in oncology over the past ten years, only relatively modest improvements have been made in the conventional treatment of cancer. Recently, a better understanding of molecular pathways has provided pathologists with clues to the parthenogenesis of the disease and multiple targets for new strategies. New treatments, monoclonal antibodies or small molecules, have emerged targeting these pathways and inhibiting tumor growth and progression. These 'mabs' and 'nibs' constitute a new language with its own grammar that oncologists have to learn. Significant work remains in controlling theses processes and understanding these new compounds. This journal aims to be a pragmatic tool for all physicians committed to the field, focusing on insight into the basic science of cellular functions, critical reviews of clinical data. The Société française d'angiogenèse is affiliated to the journal.

Teaching and Learning in Medicine serves as an international forum for scholarly, state-of-the-art research on the purposes and processes of teaching and learning as they relate to the education of medical professionals. Its international scope acknowledges that there is a common challenge faced by all medical teachers--fostering the acquisition and maintenance of usable knowledge and skills in a broad, highly complex, and constantly changing clinical science--and that a common base of theory will contribute to meeting that challenge. The journal addresses practical issues and provides the analysis and empirical research needed to facilitate decision making about medical education by administrators, teachers, and learners. Its coverage includes applied educational research that is methodologically sound, practical, and useful to the teaching of medicine; editorials, analyses, and reviews of literature regarding the conduct of medical education; and basic research concerning the foundations of medical education.Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 325 Chestnut Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19106.
