Aims and Scope

Cancer Science (formerly Japanese Journal of Cancer Research) is a monthly publication of the Japanese Cancer Association.  First published in 1907, the Journal continues to publish original articles, editorials, and letters to the editor, describing original research in the fields of basic, translational and clinical cancer research. The Journal also accepts reports and case reports.

Cancer Science aims to present highly significant and timely findings that have a significant clinical impact on oncologists or that may alter the disease concept of a tumor.  The Journal will not publish case reports that describe a rare tumor or condition without new findings to be added to previous reports; combination of different tumors without new suggestive findings for oncological research; remarkable effect of already known treatments without suggestive data to explain the exceptional result. Review articles may also be published.

Effective from 1 January 2017, Cancer Science will not accept work that is funded in any part by tobacco industry sources.

Average submission to first decision is 17 days!
