Pediatric Blood & Cancer: The Official Journal of ASPHO

PBC Pediatric Blood & Cancer (PBC), published monthly by Wiley-Blackwell, is the official journal of ASPHO and the International Society of Paediatric Oncology (SIOP).

Peter E. Newburger, MD, of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Worcester, MA, serves as editor. Thomas Gross, MD, of the NIH in Rockville, MD, is deputy editor. Editorial board members represent the international constituencies of both ASPHO and SIOP. 

PBC publishes manuscripts describing basic and clinical investigations of blood disorders and malignant diseases of childhood, including diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, etiology, biology, and molecular and clinical genetics of these diseases as they affect children, adolescents, and young adults.

In January 2014, Pediatric Blood & Cancer became online-only. The online-only publication reflects a larger trend, with scholarly journals everywhere moving rapidly toward electronic-only distribution.

A joint ASPHO and SIOP Publications Committee meets regularly to provide support, oversight, and guidance to the journal. Members of the committee include the presidents and officers of each society. 

Other societies affiliated with and contributing to the journal include The Histiocyte Society, the European Society for Paediatric Hematology and Immunology, and the International Society of Paediatric Surgical Oncology.

Electronic Table of Contents

ASPHO's official journal, Pediatric Blood & Cancer (PBC), sends an Electronic Table of Contents (eTOC) with information on each forthcoming issue. PBC eTOC will provide readers with a regular update about PBC content, directly from the Wiley Online Library. ASPHO members will be subscribed to eTOC beginning in January 2015. More information regarding this service will be available in upcoming weeks.
