INTRODUCTION
Cancer Translational Medicine provides rapid and efficient peer-review
publications on innovative cancer investigation or translational work
related to oncology and precision medicine. Contributions focusing on
systemic anticancer therapy including gene-therapy, immuno-therapy, and some
new bio-therapies, randomized trials (including negatives ones), top-level
guidelines, molecular pathology, bioinformatics, modern statistics, and
biotechnologies. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery and pediatrics
manuscripts can be considered if they display a clear interaction with one
of the fields above or are paradigm-shifting. Cancer epidemiology and
prevention, control is considered also.
PREPARATION
Article Types
Cancer Translational Medicine publishes material in the form of Editorial,
Original Article, Short Communication, Review, Mini Review, Hypothesis, Meta
Analysis, Case Report, Letter, and etc.
Editorials are invited from editorial board members. They should focus on
hotspots of cancer research in last two years. They should be no more than
16,000 characters (4 pages).
Original articles should present significant new information gathered from
basic research. They should report on novel and well-designed studies and
present a complete body of work. Conclusions should not be based on
unpublished work or preliminary summaries of data. Previous studies or
precedents should be clearly and completely referenced.
Short communications may report on early clinical data or discovery-based
studies that are not sufficiently developed for publication as Research
Articles but have the potential to make a significant impact in research
areas and/or patient care. They should be no more than 16,000 characters (4
pages).
Reviews provide authoritative, comprehensive overviews on timely subjects
geared toward the general cancer research community. These articles should
include the author's point of view on how the subject relates to the current
state of the field and how it could affect research and/or treatment. They
should be more than 16,000 characters (4 pages).
Mini reviews focus on hotspots of cancer research and summarize the results
in last two years. And research tendency can be forecasted. They should be
no more than 16,000 characters (4 pages).
Hypothesis articles may report on short presentations of original ideas and
new insights relating to cancer causes and prevention.
Meta-analyses must adhere to alternative guidelines appropriate to the study
design, and include the completed checklist and flow diagram to accompany
the main text. Authors must complete the appropriate reporting checklist not
only with page references, but also with sufficient text excerpted from the
manuscript to explain how they accomplished all applicable items.
Case reports can be considered for publication as Letters to the editor.
Letters are welcome and will be published if appropriate. They should be no
longer than 8,000 words and a maximum of five references; one table or
figure is acceptable if absolutely necessary. No abstract is required. (2
pages).
Lettersare for correspondence relating to previously published articles, and
only then within an appropriate time frame, or some kind of interesting
practice points, e.g. emerging side-effects of new drugs, rare diseases
where there is a real practice issue.
Article Structure
Original article: Abstract (structured with headings Aim, Methods, Results,
Conclusion), Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion.
Case report: Abstract (unstructured), Introduction, Case History, and
Discussion.
1. Title
Title must be informative, specific and short and not exceed 200 characters.
Title must be in boldface and capital case having a font size and font
style of 16 pt and Times New Romanrespectively. It must be followed by one
empty line.
2. Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state
briefly the purpose of theresearch, the principal results and major
conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately fromthe article, so
it must be able to stand alone.For Original articles, abstracts should give
a pertinent overview of the work. We strongly encourage authors to use the
following style of structured abstracts with headings: 1) Objective: Place
the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the
study; 2) Methods: Describe briefly the main methods or treatments applied;
3) Results: Summarize the article's main findings; and 4) Conclusion:
Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an
objective representation of the article. It must not contain results which
are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not
exaggerate the main conclusions. For review articles, abstract is good with
a paragraph format. Letters and editorials don’t need abstract.
3. Keywords
Provide 4-5 keywords identifying the subject of your article.
4. Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background,
avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
5. Materials and Methods
All important materials used along with their source shall be mentioned. The
main methods used shall be briefly described with appropriate reference.
New methods or substantially modified methods may be described in sufficient
detail. Methods in general use need not be described in detail. The
statistical method and the level of significance chosen shall be clearly
stated.
6. Results
Results should be clear and concise. The data should be statistically
analyzed and the level of significance stated. Data that is not
statistically significant need only to be mentioned in the text - no
illustration is necessary. All tables and figures must have a title or
caption and a legend to make them self-explanatory.
7. Discussion
This section should deal with the interpretation of results, convey how they
help increase current understanding of the problem and should be logical.
Unsupported hypothesis should be avoided. The Discussion should state the
possibilities the results uncover, hat need to be further explored.
8. Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a
separate section before the References.
9. References
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are
first mentioned in the text (not in alphabetic order). Identify references
in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in superscript with square
bracket after the punctuation marks. References cited only in tables or
figure legends should be numbered in accordance with the sequence
established by the first identification in the text of the particular table
or figure.
All authors’ names should be listed in the references. The names of
journals should be abbreviated according to the style used in Index Medicus.
Avoid using abstracts as references. Information from manuscripts submitted
but not accepted should be cited in the text as “unpublished observations
” with written permission from the source. Avoid citing a “personal
communication” unless it provides essential information not available from
a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of
communication should be cited in parentheses in the text.
The commonly cited types of references are listed below, for other types of
references please refer to ICMJE Guidelines http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/uniform_requirements.html.
