Molecular Oncology highlights new discoveries, approaches, as well as technical developments, in basic, clinical and discovery-driven translational research. Topics include:


• 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.
• Epidemiology and prevention.
• Infrastructures (biobanks, databases, genomic resources).


A main feature of the Journal is to provide an international forum for debating cancer issues, and for integrating the input of all the stakeholders.

Coverage: Reviews, original articles, technical notes, editorials, news & views (commentary, science policy issues, ethical and legal issues, patient organisations, industry needs and alliances, regulatory issues, news items), letters to the editor, conference announcements, advertisements.
