JCO Oncology Practice

JCO Oncology Practice is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand JCO Oncology Practice rather than just read about it. In short: JCO Oncology Practice (known from 2005 to 2019 as the Journal of Oncology Practice) is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the mechanics of oncology care. It was established in 2005 and is published by the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Key takeaways

JCO Oncology Practice belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect JCO Oncology Practice to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of JCO Oncology Practice from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

JCO Oncology Practice (known from 2005 to 2019 as the Journal of Oncology Practice) is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the mechanics of oncology care. It was established in 2005 and is published by the American Society of Clinical Oncology. The editor-in-chief is Jeffrey Peppercorn (Massachusetts General Hospital).

History The first issue was managed by then-editor in chief Douglas Blayney (Stanford University), and was published in May 2005 featuring "... material on oncologic best practice methods originated by our colleagues, who may care for patients in office, hospital out-patient, academic, or home-care settings. These pieces may be first-authored, multi-authored, or may result from interviews by our staff." Blayney was succeeded by John V. Cox (University of Texas Southwestern) in 2008.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with JCO Oncology Practice

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what JCO Oncology Practice claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to JCO Oncology Practice before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about JCO Oncology Practice ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of JCO Oncology Practice

In research: JCO Oncology Practice appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses JCO Oncology Practice in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: JCO Oncology Practice is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic journals established in 2005, Academic journals published by learned and professional societies, English-language journals, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for JCO Oncology Practice outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
