Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the study of tumor biology, with a particular emphasis on the development, validation, and clinical application of biomarkers for cancer diagnostics, prognostics, and therapy monitoring. Recent articles explore various types of biomarkers, including protein markers, splice variants, and genetic mutations, across different cancer types such as lung, breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancers. The research also investigates the role of tumor microenvironment components and signaling pathways in cancer progression and treatment response.
