ISSN: 0964-1955. Advance announcements called this the _European Journal of
Cancer Part B - Oral Oncology_. The first issue arrived today. The spine
has:

     EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF CANCER (ORAL ONCOLOGY)
           with
     Volume 28B, Number 1, Pages 1-86

as well as   28B
             ___
              1

The cover has:

          E
          J
          C

          ORAL ONCOLOGY

There are two decorative "O"s slanting across the cover, supposedly repre-
senting _Oral Oncology_.

Inside front cover has:

               ORAL ONCOLOGY
     European Journal of Cancer Part B

Editorial page has:

          E
          J
          C

Page identification begins Oral Oncol, Eur J Cancer, Vol. 28B, No 1, pp....

The Editorial itself refers only to _Oral Oncology_.

I want to list this as it was announced, primarily because while it is
available on a separate subscription from Part A, Part A is not available
as a separate subscription without Part B. Price is listed in the front
matter for A & B: $1,525.00. Price for Part B alone (SA) is $105.00. (Could
not locate frequency for Part B anywhere in the front matter, either.)

With so many choices, I'll stick with the original announcement and be sure
to cross reference so I can find the title when it is requested as _Oral
Oncology_ alone.

How would a librarian classify?
