For more than 75 years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) has published some of the most respected peer-reviewed journals in oncology.
CancerSpeak, the official podcast of the ACS Journals, brings this legacy to life through conversations with experts in clinical oncology and related disciplines, connecting listeners with the research and perspectives featured across its titles.
Originally launched in 2023 to highlight research from Cancer, the podcast is expanding to feature work across the full ACS journals portfolio, including CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Cancer Cytopathology, and Pediatric, Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer.
Each episode examines timely topics with leading experts in their fields, including recent studies, new clinical guidance, and major highlights from annual meetings. When possible, episodes incorporate the patient experience, highlighting the real-world impact of the work we publish.

In this episode of CancerSpeak, Dr. Nirali Shah is joined by Dr. William Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society, and Dr. Suresh Ramalingam, Editor-in-Chief of Cancer, to discuss the launch of Pediatric, Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer, a new open-access, multidisciplinary journal from the American Cancer Society.
As inaugural Editor-in-Chief of the new journal, Dr. Shah leads a conversation exploring the current landscape of pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) oncology research, the ongoing gaps and challenges across the field, and why a dedicated new publication focused on these populations is both timely and necessary.
The discussion also addresses how broader dissemination of pediatric and AYA oncology research through Pediatric, Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer can help accelerate progress in clinical care and patient outcomes while supporting the American Cancer Society’s mission to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
