INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY
Scope & Guideline
Illuminating the path to effective cancer therapies.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Molecular Mechanisms of Cancer:
The journal publishes studies elucidating the molecular pathways and genetic alterations that drive cancer development and progression, including signaling pathways, gene expression regulation, and epigenetic modifications. - Tumor Microenvironment and Immunology:
Research articles explore the interactions between cancer cells and their surrounding microenvironment, including the roles of tumor-associated macrophages, immune checkpoint molecules, and the impact of the immune system on tumor growth. - Targeted and Immunotherapy:
The journal emphasizes innovative therapeutic approaches, including targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and combination treatments, aimed at improving patient outcomes in various cancer types. - Biomarkers and Prognostic Factors:
Papers often focus on identifying biomarkers for early detection, prognosis, and treatment response, contributing to personalized medicine in oncology. - Novel Drug Development and Preclinical Studies:
The journal features research on new anti-cancer agents, their mechanisms of action, and preclinical studies that assess their efficacy and safety. - Mechanisms of Drug Resistance:
Understanding how cancer cells develop resistance to therapies is a critical area of focus, with studies investigating the underlying molecular mechanisms and potential strategies to overcome resistance.
Trending and Emerging
- Long Non-Coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in Cancer:
Research on the roles of lncRNAs in cancer biology has surged, highlighting their involvement in gene regulation, tumor progression, and potential as therapeutic targets. - Tumor Microenvironment Interactions:
There is a growing emphasis on the tumor microenvironment, particularly the role of immune cells, fibroblasts, and extracellular vesicles in cancer progression and treatment response. - Molecular Targeted Therapies:
The journal increasingly features studies on novel targeted therapies, including small molecules and monoclonal antibodies, highlighting advancements in personalized medicine. - Immunotherapy Innovations:
Innovations in immunotherapy, particularly with immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapies, are emerging as a primary focus, reflecting their transformative impact on cancer treatment. - Metabolic Reprogramming in Cancer:
Research into the metabolic adaptations of cancer cells, including the Warburg effect and altered lipid metabolism, is gaining traction as a critical area of investigation. - Microbiome and Cancer:
The interplay between the microbiome and cancer development/treatment is an emerging field, with studies exploring how microbial communities may influence tumor behavior and treatment efficacy.
Declining or Waning
- Chemoprevention Research:
The frequency of studies dedicated to chemoprevention strategies has decreased, possibly due to a greater emphasis on targeted therapies and immunotherapy approaches. - Traditional Herbal Remedies:
Research focusing on the efficacy of traditional herbal remedies in cancer treatment is less prevalent, indicating a possible shift towards more scientifically validated therapeutic approaches. - Epidemiological Studies:
There seems to be a reduction in epidemiological research articles, as the journal increasingly emphasizes molecular and mechanistic insights rather than broader population-based studies. - Radiotherapy Mechanisms:
While still relevant, the depth of articles specifically exploring the mechanisms of radiotherapy has waned, possibly overshadowed by new developments in targeted and immune-based therapies. - Basic Science without Clinical Relevance:
There is a noticeable decline in purely basic science studies that lack direct clinical implications, as the journal seeks more translational research that bridges laboratory findings with patient care.
