Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Reviews on Cancer

Aims & Scope

BBA Reviews on Cancer covers the whole field of the biology and biochemistry of cancer, emphasizing oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, growth-related cell cycle control signalling, carcinogenesis mechanisms, cell transformation, immunologic control mechanisms, genetics of human (mammalian) cancer, control of cell proliferation, genetic and molecular control of organismic development, rational anti-tumor drug design.

In short, the journal presents critical invited reviews on new developments in cancer investigation at the molecular level.
