It is impossible to work without reading reprints as medical advances progress quickly, and it is mandatory to know (about) them to apply them in the usual medical practices.

Reprints of high-quality studies also serve as an excellent tool for teaching and to maintain up-to-date information for participants of multidisciplinary tumor boards, where different specialists gather to discuss and implement care. Using a reprint for group discussion often yields a higher level of knowledge on a topic for everyone involved.

As a practicing oncologist, I find article reprints to be of critical importance. When I am developing state-of-the-art cancer care for an individual patient, I require up-to-date knowledge of the latest trends and clinical outcomes for very specific cancers of very specific stage. To obtain this specific information, reprints are crucial.
