Publish in the Journal of carcinogenesis
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.

Scope of the Journal

Journal of Carcinogenesis is a peer-reviewed, online journal designed to bring together many aspects of biomedical research to develop the understanding of carcinogenesis.

Journal of Carcinogenesis considers manuscripts in many areas of carcinogenesis and Chemoprevention. Primary areas of interest to the journal include: 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. Manuscripts that contribute to the understanding of cancer prevention are especially encouraged for submission.

Journal of Carcinogenesis is indexed in several indexing databases including

Abstracts on Hygiene and Communicable Diseases, Caspur, DOAJ, EBSCO Publishing's Electronic Databases, Excerpta Medica / EMBASE, Expanded Academic ASAP, Genamics JournalSeek, Google Scholar, Health & Wellness Research Center, Health Reference Center Academic, OpenJGate, Pubmed Central, PubMed/Index Medicus, Scimago Journal Ranking, SCOLOAR, SCOPUS, Tropical Diseases Bulletin, Ulrich's International Periodical Directory.

Edited by Gopala Kovvali, Journal of Carcinogenesis is supported by an international Editorial Board.

WHO Recommendations for Cancer Prevention
  1. Maintain weight (among adults) such that BMI is in the range of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 and avoid weight gain (>5 kg) during adult life.
  2. Maintain regular physical activity. The primary goal should be to perform physical activity on most days of the week; 60 minutes per day of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking, may be needed to maintain healthy body weight in otherwise sedentary people. More vigorous activity, such as fast walking, may give some additional benefits for cancer prevention.
  3. Consumption of alcoholic beverages is not recommended: if consumed, do not exceed two units per day.
  4. Chinese-style fermented salted fish should only be consumed in moderation, especially during childhood. Overall consumption of salt-preserved foods and salt should be moderate.
  5. Minimize exposure to aflatoxin in foods.
  6. Have a diet which includes at least 400 g per day of total fruits and vegetables.
  7. Those who are not vegetarian are advised to moderate consumption of preserved meat (e.g. sausages, salami, bacon, ham).
  8. Do not consume foods or drinks when they are at a very hot (scalding hot) temperature.
Lifestyle and Cancer incidence (Source: National Cancer Institute, USA)
  • 30-35% of cancers are related to dietary factors

  • Sedentarism is an important cause of cancer

  • 30% of cancers are related to smoking
  • Obesity is related to 14-20% of cancers in the US

  • Alcohol is resposible for about 3% of cancer deaths

  • Environmental factors, such as pollution and radiation, are contributors to cancer

  • En estimated 90% of colorectal cancers could be prevented by colonoscopy and other early detection testes

  • Early detection can decrease mortality by cervical, prostate and breast cancer.
