Molecular Carcinogenesis

Aims & Scope

Molecular Carcinogenesis publishes articles describing discoveries in basic and clinical science of the mechanisms involved in chemical-, environmental-, physical (e.g., radiation, trauma)-, infection and inflammation-associated cancer development, basic mechanisms of cancer prevention and therapy, the function of oncogenes and tumors suppressors, and the role of biomarkers for cancer risk prediction, molecular diagnosis and prognosis.
