Seminars in Cancer Biology

Aims & Scope

Seminars in Cancer Biology is a review journal dedicated to keeping scientists informed of developments in the field of molecular oncology on a topic by topic basis.

Each issue is thematic in approach, devoted to an important topic of interest to cancer biologists, from the underlying genetic and molecular causes of cellular transformation and cancer to the molecular basis of potential therapies.

Every issue is edited by a guest editor or editors, an internationally acknowledged expert(s) in the field, and contains approximately eight to twelve authoritative invited reviews on different aspects of the subject area.

The aim of each issue is to provide a coordinated, readable, and lively review of a selected area, published rapidly to ensure currency.
