Top Journals In Carcinogenesis

The Etiology for cancer remains insufficient, at least in its traditional application in infectious, bacterial, dietary, metabolic disease pathology. They find the usage of the terms carcinogenesis, cancer causing factors or carcinogenic factors more suitable for what happens during tumor cell transformation, with the note that the term carcinogenesis describes the development of a tumor, and oncogenesis its maintenance and subsequent evolution. Tumors develop in those tissues where the hyperplastic, dysplastic or regenerative changes have disturbed cellular homeostasis. Clinical and experimental data have shown that the cell is more susceptible to carcinogenic factors than it is at rest during the division process. Human and veterinary oncology can provide such examples: hyperplastic endometrial processes and mammary processes that are subjected to hormonal fluctuations are the usual background for the appearance of cancer; bronchial carcinoma in smokers invariably appears against a dysplastic or metaplastic background of the airways; bone cancer usually occurs at a young age when physiological osteogenesis occurs. Journal of Carcinogenesis takes publications into account in many fields of carcinogenesis and chemoprevention. The journal 's primary areas of focus include: physical and chemical carcinogenesis and mutagenesis; processes affecting or modulating carcinogenesis, such as DNA repair; biology, diet and carcinogens metabolism; carcinogens and modulating agents mechanisms of action; epidemiological studies; and environmental ca development, detection, recognition and quantification. Manuscripts which help to understand cancer prevention are particularly encouraged for submission.
