Molecular Oncology is an Open Access international journal that highlights new discoveries, approaches, as well as technical developments, in basic, clinical and discovery-driven translational cancer research.

The emphasis is on work that significantly advances our understanding of disease processes leading to human tumour development and/or establishes novel concepts of clear clinical significance in diagnosis, prognosis and prevention strategies for cancer patients.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Key biological processes such as cell cycle; DNA repair; apoptosis; invasion and metastasis; angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis; cell signalling and interactive networks; immune response.
• Emerging technologies (genomics, proteomics, functional genomics, metabolomics, tissue arrays, imaging), and model systems.
• Biomarkers: diagnosis, prognosis, stratification and efficacy.
• Cancer genetics, epigenetics, and genomic instability.
• Minimal residual disease, pre-malignant lesions.
• Cancer micro-environment.
• Molecular pathology.
• Tumour immunology.
• Translational research.
• Cancer therapy (target discovery, drug design, immunotherapy, combination therapies, resistance, and individualised treatment).
• Chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery.
• Clinical pharmacology.
• Clinical trials, integration of basic science into cancer clinical trials.
• Molecular epidemiology.
