Biomedicines Editorial Office

The “Cancer Biology and Oncology” Section publishes reviews and original peer-reviewed papers of a high scientific standard, covering all aspects of innovative cancer therapies. Papers aim to uncover novel therapeutic approaches toward overcoming conventional anticancer drug resistance and a better understanding of the interrelations between cancer and metabolism in addition to a better understanding of the tumor and its microenvironment, along with 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 those involving CAR-T cells), identification of novel therapeutic targets, and evaluation of novel diagnosis and prognosis markers and the assessment of their impact on morphological, phenotypical, and molecular classifications.
