Preparing Your Paper
All authors submitting to medicine, biomedicine, health sciences, and allied and public health journals should conform to the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals, prepared by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).
Letters to the Editor
A short, focused text with references, addressing a specific publication in Cancer Biology & Therapy. Before such a Letter is published, the author of the original published article will be given the opportunity to reply to the Letter. If the author wishes to reply, the Letter and Reply Letter will be published together in the same issue of the journal.
Review
Should contain a structured abstract of 150 words.
Should contain between 5 and 10 keywords. Read making your article more discoverable, including information on choosing a title and search engine optimization.
Reviews should be recognized as scholarly by specialists in the field being covered, but should also be written with a view to informing readers who are not specialized in that particular field, and should therefore be presented using simple prose. Please avoid excessive jargon and technical detail. Reviews should capture the broad developments and implications of recent work. The opening paragraph should make clear the general thrust of the review and provide a clear sense of why the review is now particularly appropriate. The concluding paragraph should provide the reader with an idea of how the field may develop or future problems to overcome, but should not summarize the article. To ensure that a review is likely to be accessible to as many readers as possible, it may be useful to ask a colleague from another discipline to read the review before submitting it. Submitted reviews are subject to the same page charges as full-length reports—whether page charges apply for commissioned reviews will be determined upon each commission. Reviews should cite no more than 150 references.
Meeting Reports
Should contain between 5 and 10 keywords. Read making your article more discoverable, including information on choosing a title and search engine optimization.
Meeting Reports are summaries of presentations from recent meetings in the field. Authors are encouraged to contact the Editor-in-Chief with proposals for meeting reports. Also, please contact the meeting organizers to verify that reports will be permitted.
