AACR introduces Cancer Prevention Research
Date:12/4/2007

PHILADELPHIA In response to the growing body of research in the field of cancer prevention, the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) announces the launch of a major peer-reviewed scientific journal, Cancer Prevention Research, and invites submissions of papers.

The main purpose of Cancer Prevention Research is to build a translational bridge between the basic and clinical sciences in the field of cancer prevention, said Lippman. Articles will cover the preclinical and clinical work of nearly every cancer prevention discipline, from molecular biology to medical oncology, from behavioral science to surgical oncology, from nutritional science to exciting new areas such as infection- and inflammation-related cancer prevention. Cancer Prevention Research also will serve as a forum for perspectives on key public policy issues affecting cancer prevention and will highlight the central role of cancer prevention and early detection in public health, Lippman said.

The emphasis on linking preclinical and clinical research in prevention is unique among scientific journals. The idea to launch Cancer Prevention Research came from the basic, clinical and translational researchers who are AACR members, said AACR President William N. Hait, M.D., Ph.D. On behalf of AACR, I thank Dr. Lippman and his outstanding
