Journal Title：Oncology

Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.

尽管实验室和临床癌症研究需要密切联系，但基础水平的观察通常仍与医学应用相分离。该杂志致力于加速将实验结果转化为临床，并再次回到实验室进行进一步研究。这项工作的根本目的是提高癌症的临床相关知识，提高恶性疾病的预防、诊断和治疗结果。该杂志发表了来自世界各地癌症项目的重要临床研究，以及重要的转化实验室发现、小型评论（邀请和提交）以及对肿瘤学领域不断发展和有争议的主题的深入讨论。该杂志的一个独特之处是一个新的版块，专注于快速同行评审和随后发表 1 期和 2 期临床癌症试验的简短报告，旨在确保高质量的临床癌症研究快速进入公共领域，无论试验关于疗效或毒性的最终结论如何。
