Holding Space for the Work That Matters

January 2026 Vol 17, No 1

The realities of cancer care are shifting quickly; costs continue to climb, resources feel stretched, and the pressure placed on the shoulders of patients, their families, and caregivers grows heavier. And yet, every day, navigators shape a different narrative, one where clarity, access, and compassion still have room to thrive. That reality is shaping the path forward for the Journal of Oncology Navigation & Survivorship this year.

For 2026, we are expanding how we share and amplify the insights that move this field forward. You will see new multimedia offerings, including podcasts, video vignettes, and more dynamic digital content designed to bring research, lived experience, and practical expertise directly to you in ways that are accessible, timely, and genuinely useful for day-to-day work.

Just as importantly, we are deepening our collaboration with the navigation community itself. The gaps you identify, the solutions you build, and the innovations you create deserve a platform that reflects the full complexity and impact of your work. Our commitment is to spotlight evidence that matters, elevate voices that too often go unheard, and connect the dots between data, practice, and patient experience in meaningful ways. Simply put, we aim to take what matters, what works, and what is emerging, and get it into your hands faster.

Thank you for your continued support and for stepping into 2026 with us. We are hopeful and energized for a brilliant year of clarity, collaboration, and intentional growth as we continue building a journal that serves not only the profession of navigation but also the people you support every single day.

Here’s to shaping what comes next, together.

Warmest regards,

Hina Mehreen Porcelli
