About the collection

Journal of Hematology & Oncology and Experimental Hematology & Oncology are calling for submissions to our Collection on "Latest updates from major conferences." This cross-journal series intends to publish Correspondences with latest updates on novel agents and regimens from major conferences on blood and cancer disorders. Each Correspondence serves as a summary and analysis of 5 or more abstracts on a similar focus from a major international conference.

Each Correspondence should start with “To the editor," include two tables, and fewer than 700 words in the text. It should also have two subsections to better delineate the content. There should be fewer than 12 references.
