Cancer Watch Mission:To transform the expanding technical information on cancer research into understandable language to the curious and the informed.

"Cancer Watch does an admirable job of achieving its goals of communicating cancer, cancer research and cancer genetics. It is suitable for the uninitiated but informed lay person, and for the high-school student, college student and novice medical student"

C. Eng, University of Cambridge, & Harvard Medical School,
in Trends in Genetics 9, 329-330, 1993.

"Simply Brilliant"

Graham Richards, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

"It (the magazine) is very well balanced with respect to both scientific accuracy and clarity for even lay persons unfamiliar with modern molecular biology. The illustrations are just gorgeous."

"There is a real dearth of information available to the intelligent layman interested in cancer. I congratulate you on your mission. May this become a permanent addition to our information network.

"Your magazine is absolutely wonderful and a valuable resource which I will hang on to for ever. I teach high school biology and lower level bio at UMASS/BOSTON. Your articles are invaluable for my presentations. I especially want you to continue your multidimensional approach. The articles on "hot topics" in molecular biology are nicely balanced with your pieces on basic topics (protein structures etc) as well as with the articles on the environmental aspects of cancer reserach. Well Done!

"This is a handsome publication, one that should be of interest to the many who need to understand the complex field of cancer research and treatment."

Christy Thomsen, Office of Cancer Communications,
Dept. of Health and Human Services

"I am pleased to know about this new magazine. A publication that will bring complex scientific discoveries to a broad audience and increase public understanding of issues related to sciences.

CANCER WATCH (ISSN 10593802) is published monthly on the last saturday of each month by: Adenine Press 2066 Central Avenue Schenectady NY 12304 USA phone: 518-456-0784 fax: 518-452-4955 stone@adeninepress.com	The Monthly News and Educational Magazine of Cancer Research The mission of Cancer Watch is to transform the expanding technical information on cancer research into understandable language to the curious and the informed.
Mission	Cancer Watch takes advanced cancer science and, with the help of brilliant color renditions, and intelligent write-ups, transforms it into coherent understandable stories. In addition to covering all aspects (prevention, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment) of various types of cancers, the magazine pays special attention to current news-braking events on new therapies, development of novel technologies for cancer detection, and current hot topics such as, diet and cancer, designer food, cancer vaccine, environmental influences on carcinogenesis, and cancer prevention trials. In each issue, the basic biology and chemistry, as they relate to oncology are addressed, with DNA and genes as the central theme.
	It provides cancer news with emphasis on cancer research, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, use of new molecular technologies and alternative medicine. Cancer Watch covers current molecular biology developments in cancer diagnosis, treatment and prevention, results from cancer clinical trials and experimental treatments such as gene and immunotherapies as well as alternative medicine. On a continuing basis Cancer Watch covers news and research discoveries on: cancer vaccine, cancer pain, cancer and diet, cancer molecular markers, cancer clinical trials, childhood cancer, breast cancer , prostate cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, brain tumor, lung cancer, liver cancer, tamoxifen, taxol, hormone replacement therapy, gene therapy, pregnancy and cancer, among many other topics. To the best of our knowledge, for the first time, this magazine fills the void between the hardcore cancer research in scientific journals, and the information that appears on newspapers and popular magazines. The articles are brief and precise and the unfamiliar technical terms are explained in the glossary which regularly appears on each issue, both print and Online. In addition, from time to time, the magazine features articles by guest cancer scientists who specialize in certain niches of cancer biology and treatment. These are times of explosive growth in medical research and the material has become complex and technical. The magazine will keep the readers informed of the continuing developments in all fronts of cancer research with high quality information. It should provide a modality and language for to communicate effectively with each other, particularly between the patients and physicians. The magazine should be of immense use to develop and teach a course dealing with DNA double helix and the chemistry of cancer in lower level undergraduate instruction. In fact such a course, a very popular course with over 400 students in each semester, is being taught at the State University of New York at Albany. One can access, the web pages of this course at: http://www.albany.edu/~achm110/. It is also believed that the magazine will be an ideal medium to introduce the subject matter to our students in high schools.
