The “Cancer Biology and Oncology” Section publishes reviews and original peer-reviewed papers of a high scientific standard, covering all the aspects of innovative cancer therapies. The papers aim to uncover novel therapeutic approaches toward overcoming conventional anticancer drug resistance, provide a better understanding of the interrelations between cancer and metabolism as well as tumors and the microenvironment, and highlight the discovery of novel diagnostic and prognostic makers. Topics include but are not limited to in vitro and in vivo cancer therapeutic responses, targeted therapies (including metabolism and immunotherapy, such as involving CAR-T cells), the identification of novel therapeutic targets, and the evaluation of novel diagnosis and prognosis markers as well as the assessment of their impact on morphological, phenotypical, and molecular classifications.
