Paul Goldberg is the editor and publisher of The Cancer Letter. He joined the publication in 1986.
Many of his stories had a profound impact on the field of oncology, leading to Congressional investigations and changes in policy. Most recently, Goldberg’s coverage focused on the controversies at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas.
He uncovered a key element of a scandal at a genomics research group at Duke University. This led to retraction of papers in the world’s premier medical journals and appointment of a committee of the Institute of Medicine.
Goldberg broke the story that led to the ImClone scandal and the key stories in the controversy over erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. His reporting is recognized by the Washington DC Professional Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, the Gerald Loeb Awards, and the Newsletter and Electronic Publishers Foundation.
