Carcinogenesis: The more we seek to know the more we need to know – Challenges in the post Genomic Era

Abstract

In spite of all the advances in the treatment of cancer and knowledge of the processes responsible for this disease, there is a gap in understanding the molecular events leading to cancer and mechanisms of action by anticancer agents. Generally speaking, 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 and greater scope for multidisciplinary research in the field. A forum for accelerated publication of results and a free access to such publications are very important to the field. These are the considerations that led to the birth of a new online journal, Journal of Carcinogenesis https://carcinogenesis.com. The journal will branch into six sections each of which is headed by an editor who is an expert in that field
