MOLECULAR CARCINOGENESIS
Scope & Guideline
Unraveling the Molecular Mysteries of Cancer
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Molecular Mechanisms of Carcinogenesis:
The journal primarily investigates the molecular and cellular mechanisms that lead to cancer, including genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications, and signaling pathways. - Cancer Biology and Tumor Microenvironment:
Research on how tumors interact with their microenvironment, including the role of stromal cells, immune cells, and extracellular matrix components in tumor progression and metastasis. - Therapeutic Targets and Drug Resistance:
Exploration of novel therapeutic targets, mechanisms of drug resistance, and the development of innovative treatment strategies, particularly in the context of targeted and immunotherapy. - Biomarkers for Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis:
Studies aimed at identifying and validating biomarkers that can improve cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response. - Translational Research:
Research that translates laboratory findings into clinical applications, focusing on how molecular insights can inform cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
Trending and Emerging
- Targeting the Tumor Microenvironment:
A growing body of research is focusing on the tumor microenvironment, including the roles of cancer-associated fibroblasts, immune cells, and extracellular vesicles in tumor progression and therapy response. - Molecular Mechanisms of Drug Resistance:
There is an increasing emphasis on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying drug resistance, particularly in the context of targeted therapies and immunotherapy. - Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer:
Research into the role of epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, in cancer initiation and progression is gaining momentum, reflecting a deeper understanding of gene regulation. - Precision Medicine and Personalized Therapy:
Emerging studies are focusing on precision medicine approaches that tailor treatments based on individual genetic profiles and tumor characteristics, enhancing therapeutic efficacy. - Non-coding RNAs and Their Roles in Cancer:
The role of non-coding RNAs, including long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs, in regulating cancer pathways and their potential as therapeutic targets is increasingly prominent.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Chemotherapy Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in publications focusing solely on traditional chemotherapy mechanisms and outcomes, as research increasingly emphasizes targeted therapies and immunotherapies. - Basic Epidemiological Studies:
Though important, basic epidemiological studies are becoming less frequent compared to molecular and mechanistic studies that provide deeper insights into cancer biology. - Single-Agent Drug Studies:
Research focusing on the efficacy of single-agent chemotherapeutics is waning, with a shift towards combination therapies and multi-target approaches that may offer better outcomes. - In Vivo Animal Models:
While still relevant, there is a reduced emphasis on traditional in vivo animal models in favor of more sophisticated models that better mimic human disease, including organoids and patient-derived xenografts. - General Cancer Prevention Strategies:
Research that broadly addresses cancer prevention without a molecular basis is declining, as more studies focus on specific molecular pathways and targeted prevention strategies.
