Under the terms of the deal, Springer Healthcare will also continue to provide commercial reprints from articles published in ASCO’s Journal of Clinical Oncology and Journal of Oncology Practice, in major Pharma markets including North America, Japan, India and most of Europe, following a successful three-year period which began in 2011.
