Vose, M.D., MBA, and Howard S. Hochster, M.D., FACP, as co-editors in chief of the journal Oncology®.

Dr. Vose has been a member of the faculty at University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) since she completed her fellowship there in 1990. She currently serves as the chief of the oncology/hematology division in the Department of Internal Medicine at UNMC and Oncology Chief for Nebraska Medicine. Known internationally as a leading expert in the treatment of patients with lymphoma, Dr. Vose is actively involved in various novel clinical trials for patients with hematologic malignancies.

Hochster, a graduate of the Yale School of Medicine, completed an internship, residency and fellowship in Hematology-Oncology at NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and NYU Langone Medical Center. Hochster is a part of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, serving as the associate director for clinical research and director of gastrointestinal (GI) oncology.

Hochster served for eight years as a member of the NCI Colon Task Force and also as a member of the NCI GI Steering for 6 years. Also recently serving as GI Committee chair of the SWOG cooperative group, he has played an integral role in many of the studies that have set standards for pioneering new treatments in cancer care.

“We’re looking forward to the wealth of knowledge both Drs. Vose and Hochster will bring to our network of health care professionals in the oncology space,” said Kristie Kahl, editorial director of Oncology®. “Working together with our co-editors in chief, we look to provide our network with the most up-to-date, easily-digestible content surrounding diagnostics, treatment and more.”

As co-editors in chief, Drs. Vose and Hochster will aid Oncology® in delivering top-tier content and broaden the variety of oncology topics covered.
