Listserve Information

Welcome to the ASCO Listserve!

ASCO now offers two listserve programs: one for training program directors and one for fellows. Each program includes a listserve for the overall group and additional listserves for subspecialties. The listserves enable training program directors and fellows to interact with their colleagues and peers by asking questions or commenting on concerns through a common e-mail.

Each listserve is an unmoderated discussion, which means that all replies to an e-mail are posted immediately to the entire group of subscribers of the specific listserve group. To contact an individual privately, outside of the discussion, be sure to enter the individual’s e-mail address in the “to:” area of your e-mail software and make sure that the address of the listserve is not included in the “to” area.
