World Journal of Surgical Oncology is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal publishing articles related to surgical oncology and its allied subjects such as epidemiology, cancer research, biomarkers, prevention, pathology, radiology, cancer treatment, clinical trials, multimodality treatment and molecular biology. Emphasis is placed on original research articles and clinical case reports. The journal will also provide balanced, extensive and timely review articles on selected topics.
World Journal of Surgical Oncology considers research in surgical oncology and related fields. Oncology is a multidisciplinary super-speciality of which surgical oncology forms an integral component, especially when it comes to solid tumours. It is a fast growing speciality. Surgical oncologists around the world are involved in research extending from detecting the mechanisms underlying causation of cancer, to its treatment and prevention. The role of a surgical oncologist also extends across the whole continuum of care. With continued developments in diagnosis and treatment, the role of a surgical oncologist is ever-changing. Hence, the journal aims to keep the new generation surgical oncologist abreast with latest developments in their field and in related fields that will ultimately influence the work of surgical oncologists.
There are very few journals in the field of surgical oncology; these are available at a subscription that is beyond many, especially in developing and under developed countries. Moreover, there is no Open Access journal catering for surgical oncologists. As most of the journals are print journals with space constraints, there was a demand for a journal where one could publish without space constraints but with a wide readership. As the journal had global readership without any restriction it was aptly named as World Journal of Surgical Oncology with world-wide representation on the editorial board.

Molecular Cancer is an Open Access, peer-reviewed online journal interested in original research and commentary in all areas of cancer and related biomedical science.Molecular Cancer promotes the exchange of ideas, concepts and findings in any area of cancer and related biomedical science. Molecular Cancer is interested in articles from basic, translational and clinical research, opening new avenues for the understanding, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Molecular Cancer will consider articles from any area of cancer-related biomedical research, including, but not limited to: angiogenesis; animal models; metastasis; cancer antigens and the immune response to them; cellular signalling and molecular biology; epidemiology; genetic and molecular profiling of cancer; prevention, diagnosis and therapy of cancer; and vaccine- and antibody-based cancer therapies.Molecular Cancer, a forum for exciting findings in the field of cancer-related research, is an Open Access journal, providing an unparalleled opportunity to present information to specialists and the public. The online appearance of Molecular Cancer allows the immediate publication of accepted articles and the presentation of large amounts of data and supplemental information.

Journal of Carcinogenesis is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal designed to bring together many aspects of research to develop the understanding of carcinogenesis.
Journal of Carcinogenesis considers manuscripts in many areas of carcinogenesis including: physical and chemical carcinogenesis and mutagenesis; processes influencing or modulating carcinogenesis, such as DNA repair; genetics, nutrition, and metabolism of carcinogens; the mechanism of action of carcinogens and modulating agents; epidemiological studies; and, the formation, detection, identification, and quantification of environmental carcinogens.
Despite the advances in the treatment of cancer and the increasing knowledge of the processes responsible for the disease, there is a gap in the understanding of molecular events leading to cancer and the mechanisms of action by anticancer agents. The field of carcinogenesis is far from being completely explored. Many novel ideas and concepts still need to be introduced into the field, and the results of several provocative experiments are yet to be disseminated and shared. There is a need for multidisciplinary research in the field and a forum for accelerated publication of results and Open Access to such publications would be greatly beneficial; these are the considerations that led to the birth of the online journal, Journal of Carcinogenesis.
