投稿须知/期刊简介:

Although experimental and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, advances at the basic level remain remote from medical application. This journal works to accelerate the adaptation of experimental results to the clinic. In each issue, findings from basic research are integrated with current theoretical knowledge and discussed in terms of their relevance to the detection and treatment of cancer. Significant clinical studies from cancer centers around the world are included, supplemented by occasional case studies and reviews. The importance of the journalís distinct function has been demonstrated through a steady increase in the number of readers.

期刊描述简介:

Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, ob­servations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
