Epidemiology, Genetics And Genomics

Journal of Cancer Therapetics & Research Open access Journal covers special section Epidemiology Genetics and Genomics aim to attract papers in the field of epidemiology, genetics and genomics in cancer cells and cancer patients. Understanding the cancer genetics, gene expression and regulation in cancer cells, their heterogeneity will give new insights in diagnosis and treatment. The section intend to disseminate information and knowledge that may furnish novel applications such as personalized treatment with either DNA or protein kinase targeted drugs, combinations with modern radiotherapeutic approaches. The section also considers studies performing whole genome sequencing to recognize potential drug targets or limited for selected genes to identify patients responding to particular treatments more likely.

Oncogenes

Oncogenes are mutated proto-oncogenes that causes cancer which are different from normal genes. Oncogenes are constantly active and can be inherited and also caused by cancer causing agents like UV light, harmfull chemicals and even some viruses, Mutant forms of src Ras, myc genes act as oncogenes and causes different types of cancer pancreatic, lung, thyroid, bladder, breast and ovarian cancers.

Cancer Mutation

Cancer Mutation is a permanent change in nucleotide sequence of genome in an organism. There are two basic types of genetic mutations acquired and germ line. Acquired mutations are errors that occur in DNA during cell division caused by exposure to certain harmful chemicals and radiations. p53 gene mutations are acquired mutations, Germline mutations are also called hereditary mutations. BRCA1 or BRCA2 are Inherited germline mutations play an important role in breast cancer risk.

Cancer Stem Cells

Journal of Cancer Therapetics & Research Open access Journal covers special section Cancer stem cells aims to publish research on identification, characterization and isolation of cancer stem cells in various cancer types, metastatic mechanisms, surface markers and their role in cancer initiation, progression and maintenance. The scope of the section includes reviews, hypothetical theories, clinical practices and novel techniques in regulating cancer stem cells.

Innovative Therapies

Journal of Cancer Therapetics & Research Open access Journal covers special section Innovative Therapies focuses on the treatment and prevention of cancer. This section inculdes cancer curing therapies and pharmaceutical applications with the study of anti-cancer drugs, therapeutic agents and Drug Development based on the signalling mechanisms and pharmacodynamics.

Carcinogenesis

Journal of Cancer Therapetics & Research Open access Journal contains special section Carcinogenesis covers the study of cells undergoing carcinogenesis with uncontrolled mutagenesis. It includes every aspect of biochemical mechanisms in relation to the cancer development. Also the focus is on medicinal research from diagnostic testing to monitoring of tumor progression through modulating agents and molecular epidemiology, examination of cells and tissues.

Organ Specific Cancers

Journal of Cancer Therapetics & Research Open access Journal covers special section Organ Specific Cancers, With its heterogenetic ability, Cancer has a diversified nature in relation to the organ specificity. This section encompasses study of cancer dvelopment in different organs and their transition among the organs. The primary focus is on heterogeneity, origin, metastasis, angiogenesis and organ specified mechanisms in cancer cells.

Radiation And Imaging

Journal of Cancer Therapetics & Research Open access Journal covers special section Radiation and Imaging section includes medical diagnostic procedures and treatment using radiation, chemotherapy and imaging technology. It focuses on the modified therapeutic strategies to control cancer and implementing preventional methods.
