Cancer Science (formerly Japanese Journal of Cancer Research) is the official journal of the Japanese Cancer Association, and is published monthly.
The journal was founded in 1907 as Gann, meaning cancer, by the late Dr. Katsusaburo Yamagiwa, who first produced skin cancer in experimental animals by painting tar on their skin. Cancer Science publishes original articles, editorials, letters to the editor, and reports describing original research in the fields of basic, translational and clinical cancer research. The following subject categories are covered: basic and clinical immunology, carcinogenesis, cell, molecular, and stem cell biology, clinical research, drug discovery and delivery, epidemiology and prevention, genetics, genomics, and proteomics, infl ammation and virology, and pathology. The Journal also publishes review articles which may be solicited or submitted.
Cancer Science is now part of the Wiley Open Access publishing program of fully open access journals published by Wiley. For further information visit the Wiley Open Access website at http://www.wileyopenaccess.com.
