Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the molecular mechanisms and genetic associations underlying various human cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and osteosarcoma. Studies investigate genetic variants, protein biomarkers, gene expression, long non-coding RNAs, and cellular processes such as cell cycle regulation, DNA damage repair, immune response, and metabolic pathways in cancer development, progression, and therapeutic resistance.
