CURE (Cancer Updates, Research, and Education) is a free magazine for cancer patients, survivors, and health care professionals in the oncology field. The publication is the largest consumer magazine in the United States focused entirely on cancer with a circulation of 385,000. The magazine's topics range from cancer research, psychosocial and emotional issues, and practical issues that span from diagnosis to survivorship.
The magazine was founded in 2002 by oncologist Vinay Jain, MD, the magazine's first editor-in-chief. In 2007, Debasish (Debu) Tripathy, MD, became editor-in-chief. Tripathy also serves as the chair of breast oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
The magazine is the flagship product of CURE Media Group, which produces other cancer-related products. Formerly owned by Medical Media Holdings, CURE Media Group was acquired in February 2010 by US Oncology,[1] and in January 2011 by McKesson Corp. In 2014, McKesson Corp. sold CURE Media Group to Michael J. Hennessy Associates, based in Plainsboro, New Jersey.[2]
CURE hosts the annual Extraordinary Healer Award for Oncology Nursing that is presented to one nurse who exemplifies certain qualities during the care of a cancer patient. The award is presented at the annual Oncology Nursing Society Congress.
