INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CANCER
Scope & Guideline
Shaping the future of oncology through rigorous research.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Cancer Biology and Mechanisms:
Research exploring the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying cancer initiation, progression, and metastasis, including studies on genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications, and tumor microenvironment interactions. - Clinical Trials and Therapeutic Interventions:
Investigations into the efficacy and safety of novel therapies, including immunotherapies, targeted therapies, and combination treatments, often through multicenter clinical trials. - Epidemiology and Public Health:
Studies assessing cancer incidence, risk factors, and outcomes in diverse populations, with a focus on health disparities, prevention strategies, and the impact of public health policies. - Biomarkers and Diagnostic Tools:
Research on the identification and validation of biomarkers for early detection, prognosis, and treatment response, including liquid biopsies and advanced imaging techniques. - Translational Research:
Studies that bridge laboratory findings with clinical applications, aiming to enhance the understanding of cancer biology and improve patient outcomes through tailored therapies.
Trending and Emerging
- Immunotherapy and Immune Landscape:
Research on the mechanisms and efficacy of immunotherapies, including immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapies, has surged, focusing on understanding patient responses and optimizing treatment protocols. - Liquid Biopsy and Minimal Residual Disease:
The development and validation of liquid biopsy techniques for early detection, monitoring of treatment response, and detection of minimal residual disease are rapidly growing fields, reflecting advancements in non-invasive cancer diagnostics. - Cancer Microbiome Interactions:
Emerging studies are investigating the role of the microbiome in cancer development and treatment response, highlighting the complex interactions between cancer cells and microbial communities. - Patient-Centric Approaches and Quality of Life:
An increasing emphasis on the patient experience, including quality of life assessments and patient-reported outcomes, is becoming central to cancer research, informing treatment decisions and survivorship care. - Health Disparities and Global Cancer Burden:
Research addressing health inequalities and the global burden of cancer is gaining traction, focusing on how socioeconomic factors, geography, and access to care affect cancer outcomes.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Studies:
While chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of cancer treatment, there has been a noticeable decline in studies focusing solely on traditional chemotherapeutic agents, as research increasingly shifts towards personalized medicine and targeted therapies. - Basic Cancer Genetics:
Research specifically aimed at basic genetic studies of cancer has seen a decrease, as more emphasis is placed on translational studies and the clinical implications of genetic findings. - Radiation Therapy Alone:
As combination therapies and multimodal approaches gain traction, studies focusing exclusively on radiation therapy, without the integration of systemic treatments or novel agents, have become less common. - Palliative Care Research:
While still important, the frequency of publications exclusively addressing palliative care strategies has waned, potentially overshadowed by advancements in curative and life-extending therapies.
