Aims & Scope

The SA Journal of Oncology (SAJO) is a peer-reviewed on-line journal which publishes high quality articles on all aspects of oncology. The Editorial Board strongly supports a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care and research as well as translational research in oncology. The journal will publish research which is particularly relevant to oncology knowledge and practice in countries with mixed income based economies.
